Upcoming Project: Read through 16.3-16.4 to get your background information and preliminary research.
Part A) Research one major genetic engineering advancement/ potential: (What are they building? How are they building it? Have they built it yet? Or what do they have left to do? What are the benefits? Uses/applications? What are the risks?).
Using your research from reliable scholarly sources to create a poster about your topic. Your poster should include at minimum: clear description of your topic, pictures, diagrams, pros/cons list, should be clear and organized, neat and easy to understand. **Also please make sure you cite your sources. **
Part B) Based on your reading and research, form an informed opinion (For or Against) genetic engineering. Your opinion should be backed by at least 2-3 good sources (ask Ms. V if you need clarification on what that means).
Type up an outline (main opinion statement, and then 3 supports and concluding statement- with sources) of your main thesis statement and 3 supports to your viewpoint and use that to create an interview/discussion/news interview video. (I will give more instruction in class for how this will be done on Flip grid).
