 * Stated Objective(s) |||| Students will be able to analyze the causes, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of common diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. They will do this through class discussion, describing, sharing, and presenting. ||
 * Procedures for Lesson |||| Background: Students have been reading and researching about the musculoskeletal system for 1 week.They have also completed workbook assignments on the musculoskeletal system which will be gone through together in class.

Have previously assigned student(s) give their oral class presentation on the assigned musculoskeletal disease/disorder. (20-30 minutes)

Go through my musculoskeletal PowerPoint (ppt) presentation (posted on class shell for students to access and print out to take notes on). Explain slides and engage class in various discussions. (students are encouraged to ask questions, ask for clarification, or share information they have with classmate (remembering to share only appropriate information - keep confidential information to themselves)

Imbedded into PowerPoint are short videos etc… to supplement slide(s).

Go over workbook questions for this chapter (musculoskeletal). Ask for volunteer to answer each question.

Divide class into 2 groups and access the Musculoskeletal Game Show (jeopardy style).The link to game is at the end of the ppt.

If time, divide class into 4 groups and assign each group a disease (see preprinted form), give 20 minutes to complete form and have groups share their information.

I would like to learn to use clickers in the classroom so I am able to assess each students learning while I am presenting this lesson. ||
 * Assessment or Evaluation |||| Presently - exam within a week. I would like to utilize "clickers" in the classroom for additional evaluation of student comprehension. ||
 * Enrichment ||||< Oral presentation from assigned student(s) for musculoskeletal system disease or disorder; class discussion. ||
 * Materials ||||
 * Technology Resources:** 1 computer, projector and screen, my musculoskeletal ppt (found on class shell), musculoskeletal game show (jeopardy style) @ []
