Hi All,

Welcome to a very busy week. I think that the debates are going well...please use the blog to reply to the positions taken on Genetic Engineering, Global Warming and Evolution, especially if your questions/comments were not addressed in class.

We will present our lessons to Jolley elementary students on Thursday. We will meet in the school office at 3:15. Jolley is on University Drive just one block south of Main Street . Be sure to submit your lesson plans to D2L. More to come next week as we prepare for IdeaFest and explore our topics in depth for the technical paper.
