Biology

Development Project: You will be assigned one of the topics below and are required to research and report your findings to the class. Your final product is up to you, however whatever you choose, you still must teach the class. Possible products include, but are not limited to: movie, webpage, brochure, poster, book of cartoons, children's book, etc. A rubric will be provided for grading purposes. The instructor is NOT telling you what you MUST include but rather YOU are responsible for determining the most important information. I am setting the standards very high and am expecting high-level products; set your own standards high and be proud of completing an upper-level product!
