Task: You are going to produce characters based on the components of the immune system. The characters will make up a story line similar to how your body responds to pathogens. You will include the sequence from your body’s first line of defense through your body’s second line of defense. The characters that must be included are listed below, however you may portray the characters any way you wish to. The setting will be up to you as well, however there must be pictures/images used that make sense with the character portrayals you chose. The pathogen you choose must be a real-life bacteria or virus (again, the portrayal of this particular character may be as you wish, but its label/name must be real.)

· Comic book, Comic strips, PowerPoint,Movie (on computer using images or video), Poster, Other (as approved by instructor)
