Introduction

Imagine that you are asked by a team of physicians to design a newsletter for new parents informing them on Sudden Infant Death. This newsletter will be given to parents in their gift pack, when they leave the hospital, with their new infant. It should inform them about the causes of SIDS and suggest precautionary measures that can be taken. 

The students will explore  web sites to help them answer questions on a worksheet listed under " The Process".  They will create a newsletter or pamphlet from this information using the Apple Works Program.
