Our health is only as good as our health service

First Task

“Complete your introduction to the Unit. Use the slides on the previous PowerPoint that list the informa-tion you need to know to give you ideas of what to write about. This work needs to be finished for home-work, for this time next week.”

This will have to be my first task, the deadline for it is Friday the 27th of September.

Introduction:

In this first unit of the year, I will have to research on some of the modern technologies which are being used in our days. These technologies will not simply have to be the ones we use for pleasure. Instead, they have to be related to our health. In fact the unit question I will have to focalize on is: “To What Ex -tent Does our Health Depend on Technology?” I find this a very interesting question because it can be an-alyzed under different perspectives. For example when I look at this question, the first thing that pops into my mind is the technologies used to cure heart malfunctioning problems. I already know one basic tech -nology that I could research on because of personal experience. Furthermore, I know that I will have some problems while researching and investigating because some of the equipment that I am going to be investigating on could be difficult to use in my final animation.

Most of them are going to be very complex pieces of equipment, and I will have to discover in more de-tail what they are. My final product for this first unit of the year will be an animated video of my own production. This animation will have to based on my unit question (To what extent does our health de-pend on technology?). I have some clear ideas on what I will have to do in order to achieve the highest grade as possible. In fact, I want to keep working hard so that I can get a 7 A like last year. In order to have the highest mark as possible I know that I have to work very hard, maybe even harder than last year; I will have to gather a lot of different information that will help me produce the final product and also I will have to reflect on every decision I make. I was asking my self: what will my animation have to have? And what should I include in it? These types of question will help me create a clearer idea on how to de-sign my final product. I do not think that I should think about my product in this introduction section, but instead, I will have a more detailed analysis on it in my research that will come immediately after this first task. A question that I should have answered now is: What do I want to achieve during this unit?
