Original Lesson
|
“Technofied” Lesson
|
Start off with a brief introduction. Explain the definition of a
pedigree chart, why it’s useful, and some information as to how it will be
used in the lesson activity.
|
I will still implement an introductory section of this activity to
create a smooth transition into the activity.
|
Next, the lesson plan includes symbols for a pedigree chart that students
have to use in order to complete their activity.
|
However, this new technofied lesson will be
more interactive with the class as a whole. I will be guiding them through
this activity by working it through with them, using a SMARTBOARD. I will do
a matching activity with the students to match the symbol with the correct
meaning.
|
There will then be a story describing a family’s history. Students
will follow the story and create a pedigree chart based on what they’ve read
about the family. They will then answer questions based on the pedigree.
|
We will read the story together by
volunteering students to read aloud. After, I will use the smart board, write
down the different family members’ names, and as a class, will decide where
to put each name on the pedigree template that I have created. The
students will still answer questions on their own.
|
Once the chart is completed, the students will then use more
information to shade in appropriate circles and squares to indentify a
specific trait, in this case that trait will be freckles.
|
Once again, using the appropriate
information, as a class we will use the smartboard to shade in appropriate
circles and squares to indicate who has freckles.
|
With help from a guide, the students will fill out the genotypes of
each member of the family.
|
I will then write down the different
genotypes that are possible and as a class we will match the genotypes with
the correct family member on the pedigree model.
