Cancer Expedition

Over the past month we (the 11th graders) have been doing an expedition on cancer. for my first expedition on cancer in this school, it was a big step for me and something new plus different for the bcs community. I found it effective but difficult to research because cancer is such a broad topic.

In my classes we were not to fond on only researching cancer. In my crew class and in my ela class we studied cancer. We also learned about cancer’s causing effects. We watched movies such as the bbc documentary Hiroshima. My teachers (some of them) told us as well their encounters with cancer. It was sadning for me to have to here, but what was most important is hearing how they fought the cancer off.

If i were able to continue our expedition on cancer i would pursue it by having the school do a project on ciggarettes! I would do this because so many people smoke ciggarettes. Too many people die from cancer. Lung cancer which is caused mainly by ciggarettes. Even though people are on the tv screen with wholes in their neck explaining ciggarettes did it to them, people don’t think nothing of it until cancer get to them. Only then they decide to turn over a new leaf, but usually the leaf is dead which means it’s too late.
