The Common Basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus ) is a lizard found in Central and South American rainforests near rivers and streams. The basilisk eats insects, flowers, and small vertebrates. This lizard is also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard for its ability to run on the surface of water.

When startled, the Common Basilisk escapes by speeding to the nearest edge of water—and continues sprinting. The lizard runs on only its hind legs in an erect position, holding its arms to its sides. Its feet are large and equipped with flaps of skin along the toes; when moving quickly, the lizard can cross a surface of water before sinking. On water it runs an average speed of 8.4 km/h (or 5.2 mph), which is just a little slower than its speed on land. 

Question: How is it possible that this lizard can run on water?

Web Quest: Mental Health

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to this Web Quest! A Web Quest is a fun and exciting way of learning how to evaluate and apply information on the Internet. You will be challenged to think critically about what you are learning and why it is important. As a part of this Web Quest, you will create a news story to educate others about a specific mental health topic. By the end of this Web Quest, you should become more aware of ways to treat mental illness.

What first comes to mind when you hear the word mentally ill? Who do you see as someone who suffers from mental illness? What are the signs and symptoms one should be aware of if mentally ill? There are so many misconceptions about mental illness, for example, “she’s crazy”. When you hear about a teen who attempts suicide, what do you think of first? Why did he/she want to kill him or herself? Why do we always blame the victim? After thinking about these questions, click on "Tasks."

TASK

You and one co-worker are one of ten teams assigned to the top story for MTV news. MTV will choose the most creative story regarding identification of mental illness. Your team is responsible for researching current statistics, identification of the disorder, signs and symptoms and current methods of treatment. The two of you will research and create an informative PowerPoint presentation that includes a minimum of five slides. This presentation is a part of your proposal that you will give to the producers of MTV news.

Throughout your task, keep in mind the target audience of MTV. You are expected to keep the presentation creative while being sensitive you this subject matter. This assignment is an opportunity not only for a huge promotion from MTV, but it is also a chance for you to educate the many viewers of MTV. There is one catch; you have only three days before air time. To get started, review the process.

PROCESS

MTV believes it is important to include four steps in developing a good news presentation. The first three steps guide you to find relevant information that will grab the viewer’s attention as well as educate them on identification of a specific mental illness. In the final step, each team will present their newscast story to a panel. This presentation will be the deciding factor of which group story will be broadcasted on air.

Now you are ready for your first step. Good Luck!!

1. TITLE PAGE: Your first step is to create a title page using PowerPoint. Title this presentation according to the mental health topic you have been assigned to research. Be sure to include the names of each team member. Your second page should provide a brief summary of your mental illness. All slides should be written using your own words and not cut and pasted from a copyrighted document.

2. Facts: Next, look carefully at the sites below. After reviewing these websites, your job is to choose three to five statistics that you find most important for MTV viewers to know. MTV also requires that each statistic comes from a different source. Included in these statistics should be at least one statistic on frequency and prevalence and one dealing with the hereditary factors. Include these statistics in your document under the sub-heading "facts."

3. SYMPTOMS: Next, design a new slide that defines and give examples, in your own words, of your specific mental illness. Use the websites below to help you.

4. MTV likes their journalists to be able to relate to their viewers. You must prove to the producers that you can relate by developing three scenarios of your own that are most likely to occur in a high school or college setting. Include these scenarios in your document following numbers one through five.

5. REFLECTIVE PAPER: Using Microsoft Word, each group member will write a two page reflection summarizing what they learned about their mental health topic. This is an individual task and should not be done as a group. What are the most important aspects of your topic that all teens should be aware of concerning this illness? Include in this reflection your thoughts about what alarmed you the most and reasons certain statistics might be so high. And finally, how can someone suffering from this mental illness seek help? When you have completed your two page document, you are ready for you final presentation.

CONCLUSION

Congratulations! You have just completed the mental health Web Quest. You and your group members should now be ready to present your PowerPoint to the class. MTV thanks you!!

Through this Web Quest, you have learned many important things:- The prevalence of mental health in the United States.- That mental health can affect anyone at any time in one’s life.- There are many different forms of mental illness and most are treatable.- Ways to seek help and live normal lives.

The subject matter of mental health does not end with identification. It is only the first step, so ask yourself:How can I use this knowledge to help others seek professional care if needed?

Although MTV had good intentions with this news story, they still have many shows that desensitize the significance of mental illness. Can you think of some examples?

Remember, anyone can suffer from a mental illness! Learn more about it by checking out the links in the reference page. Make a difference. You could start by writing MTV and express to them your feeling about how they depict mental illness.
