Instructions
Your assignment this week will address course learning objectives 1, 3, and 4
Before beginning this assignment, make sure you have at least reviewed the week 4 discussion and the various types of public health and safety campaigns.
This week, you will have a choice of how you show what you have learned about foodborne illness, proper handling, and food safety barriers. The product for this week’s assignment will be a public safety message to educate the public on food safety.
You may choose to prepare an infographic/poster or create a video* that would be used as a television /social media video ad.
The goal is to teach the public about a foodborne pathogen, how an outbreak was caused by that pathogen, and explain how to prevent becoming ill from that pathogen. If you choose to create a video*, you may record yourself as if you are presenting a news story or prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation. For any video option, you must include a written “script” of the narration you are presenting. This is necessary in case the audio cannot be heard for any reason. If you record yourself using the classroom tools, you should make sure that the transcript is generated. The script is where you will be including your sources.
If you choose to create a poster/infographic, be sure it is legible, clear, and the text is not copied and pasted.
No matter which option you choose, this should be your own original creation. Remember academic integrity applies to all course activities.
For either option, refer to the instructions below to see what must be included.
For the assignment: You will be creating a public education tool with the goal of creating awareness and spreading knowledge about a specific pathogen that caused a real foodborne illness outbreak.
Choose one specific pathogen that commonly causes foodborne illness, such as e. Coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A virus, Botulinum toxin, Bacillus Cereus, etc. This will be the topic of your public safety education campaign.
The following elements must be included:
Provide a definition of the pathogen and include a link to a valid page to show where you found that definition. Be sure to identify what type of pathogen this is (bacteria, virus, etc.) and what illness it causes (such as salmonellosis caused by the bacteria salmonella). You do not need to include the strain or get overly scientific – remember your audience is the general public.
Describe or show what food or foods typically become contaminated with that pathogen and why/how.
Show/explain how to prevent becoming ill from that pathogen. Include the typical symptoms that are caused by that pathogen as well as the onset time (incubation period – ingestion to symptoms).
Find a real-world example of a foodborne illness outbreak caused by that pathogen and explain why/how the food became contaminated. Explain how that outbreak could have been prevented (i.e. the grower testing irrigation water, the consumer cooking it to a proper temperature, etc.)
Include any and all sources used – these do not need to be listed in APA format, but you should provide a valid URL (website address).
Be creative and remember the purpose is to educate the general public about the pathogen, how it can cause illness, and how to prevent becoming ill from the pathogen. The real-world example must be caused by the same pathogen you are teaching.
Be sure to submit both the narrated PowerPoint Presentation along with your script in a Word document.
A minimum of two valid sources should be included. These do not have to be formatted in APA format, but the links must be valid and working, and able to be verified.
Refer to the rubric for details on how the assignment will be evaluated. Please ask for any necessary clarifications prior to submitting your assignment.
NOTE – files should be 100 MB or smaller. Here are tips to reduce the file size of a PowerPoint file: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/reduce-the-file-size-of-your-powerpoint-presentations-9548ffd4-d853-41e7-8e40-b606bca036b4
