Biology Binders • Don’t lose papers (POLs = evidence, organization = success!) • Table of Contents • Each day = ONE page number • Components = LETTERS (I can add more) • Space to write down inserted worksheets • Homework Planner (may remove if you have one) • Unit 4 (Units 5-8 added later) • Project – Trial by Child • Each day = same structure • Unit 4 Binder Check (stamps!!!)
A Day in Unit 4 • Quickly enter class, sit down (legs under table). • Place homework at center of table. Stamp! • Take out biology binder and begin working on “Daily Question”. Stamp! • Not Working = Tardy • Box today’s objective • Brief “Reading” analysis. Stamp!
A Day in Unit 4 (cont.) • “Teacher Notes” on left • The notes from the PowerPoint • “Student Practice” on right • Any problems/practice I ask you to do • “Lecture Activity” • Space to write if needed. Stamp! • “Project Activity” • Space to write if needed. Stamp! • “Homework” –Assigned a YouTube video & notes to take & problems. • Write notes and answers in space • “Mini Quiz” • End of day, mini quiz that covers BOTH the homework and lecture. We will grade it in class.
Homework • CRITICAL: DO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO HOMEWORK • Short: generally 15 minutes long. No excuses! • No internet? After school, before school, lunch. No excuses! • Don’t do the homework? You will fail this semester. The homework is NOT repeated information. It is the BASIS for the lecture. • Videos are posted at least two days before assigned, so you can stay ahead if you want.
Projects • EVERY SINGLE day includes a project. • Project #1 – Trial by Child (1/15 – 2/7) • Project #2 – T.M.I (2/8 – 2/26) • Project #3 – Eggsistential Dilemma (2/27 – 3/29) • Exhibition • Project #4 – Live Free, Die Hard, Live Again (4/9 – 5/17) • Project #5 – Wormy Vermi-Composting (5/20 – 5/31) • MUST be accountable, on time, and make quality work in order to succeed. Easy to fall behind and this will result in failure.
Collaboration and Justification • “Trial by Child” (Project #1) – Genetics & Human Development • Pairs – fill out the Collaboration Justification and Contract • Who would you like to work with? (30 seconds) • THREE REASONS (2, 1, 0 = not approved) • Read the contract CLOSELY and sign. • NOT a guarantee. I will take into account past behavior, attitude, and semester 1 grade.
Homework • Write down homework in planner • http://dp.davincischools.org/staff/blarkin/ • “Biology Homework Spring ‘13” • “Homework Due 1/15-16 T/W” • Meiosis Part 1 (YouTube link) • Meiosis Part 2 (YouTube link) • Answer the 10 questions posted on your “Homework” sheet.
