Tables & Graphics

Health issues are in the news often these days. Find a news item about a health-related issue. Design a creative way to summarise the key information in the news item – who or what is involved, when must a decision be made or when is an important development expected, why is the issue important, how will a decision be made, etc. Show your design to someone else and then discuss the health issue involved. Do the two of you have similar views about it? Would you categorise the health issue as high, medium, or low priority? Why?
