01/21 genetics in the news


In-Class:

Students were expected to summarize their articles due in class today. Those students who followed directions will complete the template and return it to class tomorrow, Thursday, for entrance into the lab activity. Hours 8 and 9 complete the article summary template in class with guidance.

Homework:

Any incomplete article summary templates will be completed at home. Students who did not bring an article will bring the article and template to school Thursday.



Detailed instructions were given regarding what is considered "genetics in the news." They were also given examples of sources where the articles could be found: newspapers, magazines, journals, TV programs, internet news sources. Students had the opportunity to request a media center pass to copy an article from the many science magazines available. The assignment was originally due last week but was extended due to the school closing.
