I honestly believe that these students had one of the best pitches, since they lured me in with a simple joke about ebola. The student presenting made the poster very entertaining by starting off with the story of Tim, a man who had gotten ebola.
He even referenced over to the Measles poster while they presented about ebola, which I thought was pretty funny, since it was as if they were trying to sell me on another project that I should have taken a look at.
The majority of their poster had consisted of diagrams and photos to go along with the facts of ebola. They had mainly explained the what the different diagrams meant and how it related to ebola, which showed how knowledgable they were about their poster. They were also able to answer questions I had about their images and since the student was so lively about his project I really enjoyed hearing and learning about his poster.
Although they did not do actual hands on research like most of the other posters, the students were very dedicated about the poster they had done and wanted student’s to know that ebola is something people shouldn’t be worrying about due to its unlikeliness of spreading, and since vaccines are in the making and seem to be effective so far.
It seems like years ago that we were reading about the Ebola scare. Funny how stories burn and then die in our media. The Ebola epidemic is quietly drawing to a close in Africa. Will anyone notice?
