Today students worked on turning their thesis builder thesis from a simple paragraph to something with a little more punch. Students added at least three direct quotes to their statement which provided supporting evidence.
Homework: On Friday May 9th, evidence of your three local solutions is due. Start to think about what you are going to do to raise awareness, educate and make a change about your global problem. Evidence can be in the form of pictures, a video of you doing something, a facebook group, flyers that you put up around school, etc.
Good Luck!

Awareness is Power
As the global population increases, so does the potential for disease.
What's the deal with this blog?
This blog is designed specifically for the spring term theme (of, you guessed it) "Global Problems, Local Solutions" for Ms. Saxe's general biology classes at New Hampton School. This year we are going to focus on turning the phrase "human impact on the environment" from a negative phrase to a positive phrase. Before we do that, we need to learn the basics about ecology and sustainability.
This blog is designed to keep students, tutors and parents informed as to what is going on in class. Students should check this daily for announcements, resources, homework and links to class projects. Homework may be posted here outside of class. But, to be fair, homework that is due the next day will only be posted before 5pm the day before it is due.
If you'd like to see what we did in the fall or winter term check out the blog Biology @ New Hampton
