Assignments
8 Modern Perspectives: This is an assignment, we will complete the majority of it in class.

1.  Open the above assignment and save it to your Google Drive.  

2. The class will be broken into two groups of 16, you will be assigned a partner and one of the 8 Perspectives to research.

3.  You have 20-30 minutes to research your respective perspective.  (use the information that you read, the power point on the blog and any website you can google)  When you get done, you should be able to teach the rest of your group about that perspective to a degree that each member of their group could address each of the bullets on the “8 Modern Perspectives” handout. 

 4.  Get back together with your group of 16 and take turns as pares teach the rest of your group about the perspective you researched.  Your group will have 20-30 minutes to complete this step.  You should be filling out your "8 Modern Perspectives" handout during this time.

Conducting Scientific Research: This too is an assignment that we will spend a few days working on.  This assignment includes an extra credit opportunity.
