Week+3

=
﻿I chose evolution as the topic of my project-based learning project. The project will take place over the course of a week of class sessions. =====

=
The lesson will begin with an interactive Smart Board review on evolution and its mechanisms. A web clip will be shown that will pique student interest. =====

=
I will then ask students to explore and find evidence for evolution from the perspectives of anatomy & physiology, genetics and paleontology. Students will be placed into groups and each student will become a specialist in one of these fields. The students will be responsible for finding examples of evidence in evolution within these fields. They will use various internet resources to find this evidence, and will have to cite their sources. =====

=
Once the students have worked individually on finding their evidence, they will reconvene to create a presentation on their findings to present to their class. They will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of presentation tools, such as PowerPoint, Voicethread, Glogster, as well as a skit or song. =====

For my interactive SmartBoard presentation, I did a lesson for a high school Living Environment class on the difference between animal and plant cells.
