Traditional Vs. Technofied


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.
