You should be in groups of 3 and must assign yourselves one of the roles of either Information Collector, Data Collector or Scientist. You must all participate in a different role and perform the tasks listed below. Once the individual tasks have been completed, you are to combine your findings into a presentation and then complete the final task as a group.

All of the questions below are a guide, you may change or add a few of the questions if you find more information that you think is relevant to the topic of Sexually Transmitted Infections.
