Pamphlet Assignment: Influences on Pregnancy
I will "tell" you about the assignment today, but tomorrow in the library I will hand out the instructions and rubric. My apologies for not doing that in class today :).  This is DUE Tuesday October 23rd, 2012, NO extensions.

Please look at the home page and click on the link babycentre, where you'll be able to complete the handout that was given to you in class today. You will also be able to respond to the birth defects questions based on other handouts from last Friday. This is due tomorrow, October 19th, 2012.

We discussed preparing a person's health with food and nutrition, and exercise before becomming pregnant. I would like you to pretend your a nutritionist and prepare a 1-day menu for such a person using the handout and other resources given. This is due for Monday October 22nd, 2012. Have a great week-end.
