The student(s) responsible for
presentating a particular topic will
develop lesson plans spanning two to three
class periods that will enable the other
students to develop an appreciation for
the issues. Readings for the other
students and key questions to be answered
will be integral to these plans. A class
debate of the issues will follow,
moderated by the presentor(s). A 15 page
paper discussing the pros and cons of the
topic will be submitted. Students who
comprise the audience for a particular
topic will write one&endash;two page
reaction papers for that topic, and will
be responsible for completing all
assignments.
Grades
will be based on the quality of the
presentation, moderation of the debate,
and the written papers (15 page report and
all one-two page reaction
papers.)
Pre-Requisites:
Regents Biology, Chemistry, and Physics,
which may be taken as a co-requisite.
Students must be willing to actively
participate in classroom debates and make
presentations to the class.
