  2. What are we doing today? • So far we have only discussed the GMO food debate from personal perspectives • Today we will be discussing the many perspectives on the GMO food debate.

  3. News cast • We will need volunteers take on the roles the people being interviewed and the interviewer • These students will sit in front of the class and go through the piece, acting as the interviewer and the interviewees. The rest of us will follow along underline words and phrases with which we are unfamiliar. And making notes about things we find interesting.

These are the roles for “High Tech Food” • Announcer/Spokesman: Reads all non-specific text and part of Ray Suarez • Paul Solman: WGBH Business Correspondent (main speaking role) • Andrew Waber: Pioneer Hi-Bred Representative • Peg Armstrong-Gustafson: Pioneer Hi-Bred Representative • Sue Roberts: Nutrition Consultant • George Naylor: Farmer • Neil Hamilton: Agricultural Law Professor, Drake University • Robert Shapiro: Monsanto CEO • Dermont Hayes: Economist, Iowa State University

  6. Group Brainstorming and Reporting Out • Working in groups of 2 or 3 complete the following 2 activities • #1. Each group must produce a list of the steps a biotechnologist would need to conduct in order to create a GMO. You can use corn or soybeans as a concrete example. • #2. Each group must generate a list of the benefits and potential risks of GMO foods to farmers, consumers and the environment. This can be done as a simple table.

  7. Classroom Discussion • Students from each group will now present your posters
