Lesson Plan Excerpt
To give teachers and parents an idea of what the lesson plan contains we have set out a brief excerpt from the proposed lecture. Did the steps taken by the Odones to develop Lorenzo's Oil conform to the scientific method? We are at the point in the movie when both the restricted diet low in VLCSFAs and the immunosuppression trial in Boston have failed. Lorenzo's symptoms are getting worse. The Odones realize that the doctors won't have a cure until long after Lorenzo is dead. The Odones start on a journey to try to find some way to help their son. The complete lesson plan includes an introductory handout, several visual instructional aids, and a comprehension test/homework assignment with an answer key.
