Genetic Variation

I hope everyone had an enjoyable break to begin the Year of the Snake. Though we are leaving the Year of the Dragon behind, our class has a few details to wrap up with dragons.

Today in class, you will have a portion of time to work on your final dragon page assignment.

We will also spend some time reading the following article. This is a current article from the NY Times.


Your tasks:
1. Highlight any words that are unfamiliar. Find out the meaning of these words.

2. Key Questions:
a) How are people the same/different?
b) Is it important to have competing ideas? (why/why not)

Next class, you will carry on a discussion about the article and the two key questions. In order to have a successful discussion, each student in the class must come with an understanding of the article and be prepared to contribute ideas, questions and details.
Criteria for class discussion:
