Sharing Learning Targets and Success Criteria The teacher will instruct the students the following:
Answer: I understand that my number 2 priority is Measles because measles is a highly contagious
illness caused by a virus that replicates in the nose and throat of an infected children and adult. Thus, it
has the highest score in the criteria of nature of the problem. It can spread through droplet
transmission and if people are not aware cases could worsen in the community thus many people could
get affected so it is still higher than the other 2 options in the criteria of magnitude of the problem. I
scored the modifiability of the problem as high and preventive potential as low. For me, it is an urgent
community concern so I scored it 2, making it higher than the other two options.
