Cloning

Lesson idea. A planning proforma including learning objectives, assessment strategies, learning outcomes and a detailed plan.

Teaching approach. The topic of the ethics^(topic) of modern biology needs to draw on a wider range of sources than a printed book may provide. This resource uses a web tutorial interspersed with external links to news and comment. Rather than leave the students to explore too many interests, a worksheet with questions enables the teacher to focus the students on a subset of the material. You can adapt this to your particular need, for example, if you wanted students to have a discussion^(ta)in small groups. You might also consider using a blog, chat room or other ICT tools to record the questioning^(ta) and reasoning^(ta) around this topic. The lesson-planning proforma (or draft lesson plan) includes a list of objectives that shows the scope of the material.
