Evolution Learning Tutorial

IN:What do you know about the History Of Life On Earth and Evolution? Write about or list what you know (or think you know). What is evolution? What is Artificial Selection? What is Natural Selection? What is fitness? What do you know about Charles Darwin? What books did Darwin author?

What don't you know about the History Of Life On Earth and Evolution? Write about or list what you know you don't know about Evolution.

Develop, create, and write here one (1) important question that you have concerning the History Of Life On Earth and Evolution about which you must learn more to be fluent, functional, and successful in the 21st Century information age?

LEARN:You must learn about Science to be fluent, functional, and successful in the 21st Century information age.Use informational sources suited to your best practices in learning to take notes and study about this topic.

Weekly, SQ3R, or Cornell Notes taking are appropriate approaches to learning from assigned readings. However, depending on your best practices in learning, other ways of recording information and writing to learn may be appropriate. Your success depends on your weekly using a writing to discover and learn practice along with your InterActive Notebook (INB).

Using your InterActive Notebook (INB) is an essential practice for finding success in this Biology course. Use your INB daily in every class, and for your independent learning (and study) in this course. Every class should have an INB entry, dated, with IN, LEARN, and OUT entries evidencing your learning about this Science. Remember: IN-------------LEARN-------------OUT!

LEARN:You must learn about the History Of Life and Evolution to be fluent, functional, and successful in the 21st Century information age.

Use informational sources suited to your best practices in learning to take notes and study about this topic.

Cornell note taking is an appropriate approach to learning here. However, depending on your best practices in learning, other ways of recording information and writing to learn may be appropriate.

Evolution Learning Tutorial

OUT:You have endeavored to learn about History Of Life and Evolution to be fluent, functional, and successful in the 21st Century information age.

Now, write about what you have studied and learned about this topic and how you have gone about your study. This is important. If you have not learned, or not learned enough to keep pace with what is required in 21st Century information age, then, the iterative process strongly requires that you make some changes in your efforts and/or approach.

What do you think? How is your learning and study working out?

"INHERIT THE WIND"Evolution Learning Tutorial

Movie on the famous John T. Scopes Trial in Tennessee in 1925.

Trial was about the teaching evolution in public schools.

John Scopes was jailed for teaching about evolution.

William Jennings Bryan played by actor Fredric March.

Clarence Darrow played by actor Spencer Tracy.

Movie of trial is said to draw heavily from Scopes Trial.
