classwork/Homework
IB BIOLOGY: Well, Everyone, I hope you that took the AP Bio exam did as well as you could. Please feel free to send me any feedback about what it was like. You will help me, help next year's students. This week, due to low response rates, I will not be sitting online from 8am until noon on Zoom, but I will be ready to jump on at any time to assist you. Just send me an email and I'll send you a zoom link. Please also don't forget that you can always text, or call at 619-315-1789 In addition, I would like to commend those people who consistently engage with the material. Some of you, no matter what, always try on what I post even though you already have a good grade. It says something about you that you keep working so hard, and more than any grade, it is an indicator of your success in the future. Although this can't help but be mildly insulting to those of you who haven't, It's not really my intent. For you I just want you to know that you can change that at any time, so maybe start this week? This week begins our final two learning cycles for the year and, like you, am bummed that it seems so anticlimactic, but as you'll hear in my Golden Apple speech, we work with what we have. So, in these last two weeks we will be working on a final project. In this first week you will be able to work on it, and on the second week you will be sharing with me (And some of your friends) your work via Meet or Zoom. The details of this final project are as follows
This week your only goal is to identify a partner, register your project topic on the following link, and have it ready for next week. This link will allow you to register your project and presentation time. https://forms.gle/2rgQa3GUyEpxs7MD9 One final word, this is the easiest (and most) points that you will be able to score this year. Don't blow it off, it's pretty fun. BIOLOGY AND COMMUNITY HEALTH: This week, due to low response rates, I will not be sitting online from 8am until noon on Zoom, but I will be ready to jump on at any time to assist you. Please also don't forget that you can always text, or call, me at 619-315-1789. Are you amazing? In addition, I would like to commend those people who consistently engage with the material. Some of you, no matter what, always try on what I post even though you already have a good grade. It says something about you that you keep working so hard, and more than any grade, it is an indicator of your success in the future. Although this can't help but be mildly insulting to those of you who haven't, It's not really my intent. I just want you to know that you can change that at any time, so maybe start this week. FINAL PROJECT Is this the beginning of the end? This week begins our final two learning cycles for the year and, like you, am bummed that it seems so anticlimactic. So, in these last two weeks we will be working on a final project. In this first week you will be able to work on it, and on the second week you will be sharing your final project online with others and peer reviewing. So what will this final project look like? As you know the title of this class is Biology and Community Health and the focus of the class is to apply the concepts of biology to community health. If you look at the following link you will see a little bit more of what the project entails, but essentially you are creating a public health website where people can get answers to questions they have. Here's the link to the basic idea and all of the project topics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K8C_-n7TlrsJuIB1I1ZagjIqTcygenTdeHQy2aTxvw0/edit?usp=sharing and here's the link to the rubric: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gn6CeKF34d2oNLO3UpzK55MibADT1bv-/view?usp=sharing Do you want a perfect score to end the year? You really only need to look at the rubric for how to get scores of 8 on the project, but I've pasted them here for you, so there is less distraction. For Criteria A
How long do we have to do this? You will have one week to put the presentation together (plus a couple of days if you need them) and register it, and then the following week you will only need to do some reviews of other people's work. It will be an easy way to finish the year and help your grade. You may also be interested to know that you will be reviewing other classes who are doing a very similar project, and they will be reviewing yours! This sounds like it's worth a lot of points? It is. It is meant for you to finally take the reigns of your education and start to apply them to something that could potentially be useful to other teens. We're getting real. So take on the role of a real health educator and make something special. And you will score points in three of the four grading categories! This is like a big exam as far as value goes! Once you have decided the topic and set up a new website (Colin we can work an alternative out), please register it here: https://forms.gle/1BPpBpLeNw36GdVV7
