Lesson plan for Nov. 18

Please start by having the students finish the Osmosis Jones video that they started on Thursday.

Next the students can work on any of the following:
1. Exam review worksheet (I have provided answer keys and once they verify with you that they have completed the review, you may give them the answer key to check their work) DUE MONDAY @ BEGINNING OF BLOCK

2. Study Buddy – these were handed out on Thursday and please remind them they can write or type whatever they wish on it to use on the exam as long as the paper stays two dimensional. They may only write on the side that I typed on and I will not be providing any extras. DUE TUESDAY @ EXAM TIME.

3. Quizlet flash cards extra credit at http://www.quizlet.com/  – I have the laptop lab signed out so students can work on the extra credit online flashcards in class if they wish. Please remind them that these are due by 11:59pm tonight and can be submitted by either leaving them as a comment on our class blog (http://landrybiology.blogspot.com/ ) or the link can be emailed to me.
