The clip should be no longer than ten minutes.Groups V and VI will conduct responsible internet research regarding PTSD in post-war veterans. 30 minutesGroups with common assignments will collaborate and create a visual explaining what they have just learned.40 minutesGroups will present the information represented on their chart paper, allowing time for questions.Prior to the presentations, the teacher will explain to students that the information presented will be their only exposure to the information; therefore, they should make sure they understand.Visuals will remain posted for day two task.

So far things for you are going well; however, you have just learned that one of your fellow troop members is suffering from PTSD and refusing to seek help.
