Thee kids were able to make great conncections to all three article. I was very impressed with how things worked

Tom Tourtillottt - This is an example of a U.S. Supreme Court Case students needed to read and fill out the summary sheet. It was used as a final exam. I modeled this one first and then on the date of the final exam students needed to read a case given to them.This is the reading for the U.S. Supreme Court Case example above

Tom Tourtillott - This assignment was given in a large group class after covering notes on Tryanny of the Majority. Students needed to read MLK's letter from a Birmingham Jail with a partner and find evidence and then fill out the sheet. Then we discussed how they would have felt if they were treated in ways King described. It was great lessonn

Veronica Giese- I created this assignment for a class of 24 special education students in our current biology bacteria/virus unit. The author, David Bonais, is a vivid writer and captures the attention of the reader by using every day imagery to explain hard-to-understand science concepts. In this excerpt he was explaining the use of deodorant and its effect on bacteria. The article was well received by the students and generated a lot of questioning, which is always great to see. It was motivating to do again!

Veronica Giese - I created this lesson for general biology students. The powerpoint was the direction set and spring board for discussion. It also has a link to the actual Discover Magazine article. The handout is what students filled out before, during and after the article reading. It was really hard to get the students into the mind frame of the person discussed in the article. When asked how someone might feel with symptoms of the bacteria //C. diff//, they were generic. Some students did go beyond the obvious and put themselves in the person's shoes. The article generated a lot of questions by the students and led to great discussion. I considered it a success.

Veronica Giese - I created this lesson for a chemistry lecture as an introduction to bonding and Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory. The powerpoint leads students through a series of short activities and ends with students working on the interpretation of chemistry cartoons and writing fictitious letters from one element to another. This was "outside the box" and hard for students to do, although the concept of chemistry is abstract to begin with. The purpose was for students to make connections to the reasoning behind the theories discussed in this unit with every day concepts they were familiar with. I considered it a success.
