CPR EMRGENCIES: Being Aware

Please go to each website listed below and read the article on CPR.  Answer the questions that go along with each article on a separate sheet of loose leaf paper and hand in by the end of class.  You should be working quietly and individually to complete each question on each article. (Don’t worry, the articles are interesting and the questions are not difficult).  There is a video at the end that I want you to watch and then answer a couple questions on.  You may share a computer for the video ONLY.  NO MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE PER COMPUTER.  Then answer the questions individually on your own sheets. 

**Seniors, this is on CPR, but it’s important that you know this information also. So yes, you have to do this too.  You never know when an emergency will present itself to you!
