Review, Reflect, & Discuss
- Review the 2 infographics.
- Find an activity on one of the infographics that you would like to take part in.
- Make a claim as to whether it is safe or not for you to participate in that activity.
- How do you know? What evidence do you have to support your claim?
- Identify at least 2 more activities, then repeat the process.
- In some cases the need to participate in an activity may outweigh the risk, like going to the doctor or emergency room. Use claim, evidence and reasoning for this, too.
