Since I strongly believe that you don't really learn something until you have to teach it to someone else, we will use this blog for students to teach students. Each day a student in class will be assigned to be the class sherpa -- our guide who will show us the clear path up the mountain of knowledge. I will appoint the first sherpa, but after that... today's sherpa will pass their baton on to the next sherpa of their choosing. This will serve as 50% of your participation mark for the quarter.
What will the sherpa do here?
- Summarize the day's lesson.
- Highlight the important points of the lesson -- especially highlighting concepts exemplifying the 8 themes of biology (more about these later).
- Highlight any unanswered questions left after the class.
- Help clarify any points of confusion left after class.
- Point us to resources that help learn today's lesson -- like animations, videos, diagrams, photos, other teacher's Web sites that illustrate concepts we've been learning.
