1. Look for information about asthma that uses data, statistics, or probability.

Reliable sources of information are: online newspapers, news shows, podcasts, research reports that have been summarized for the media (often these are called "media releases"), organizations that advocate for people who are affected by the Asthma, charitable organizations that raise funds for the illness or disease, Statistics Canada or other government publications, United Nations publications. If you are unsure if your source is reliable, check with your teacher. Do not use Wikipedia.

Depending on what types of sources you find, you should need at least four but no more than 12 sources. (Some sources will provide more information than others.)

Why this information matters. Why should we care about asthma?

Give some information about asthma.

After that:

What does the data/statistic/probability tell you?

• Who might be most interested in this information?
• Who might try to discredit* the data/statistic/probability?
• Is the author of the data/statistic/probability trying to influence your thinking? If so, how?
