Story: Modern Day Evolution
Grade Level:
11
Subject:
Biology
Topic:
Evolution
Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to allow students to expand their knowledge on evolution by creating a story that highlights today's subtle signs of modern evolution.
The rational behind this lesson is bringing back the simplest forms of learning, which is done through storytelling. After reading "Making the Environment Personal: Storytelling as a Tool for Environmental Education" by G. Reis and M. Harrison, I really appreciated the use of a comforting and familiar method to explain scientific concepts. Therefore, this lesson is to introduce to students biology can be passed on through creative methods, such as storytelling.
Other Information:
Strand C: Evolution
Overall Expectation - C3. Demonstrate an understanding of the theory of evolution, the evidence that supports I, and some of the mechanisms by which it occurs.

Reflection:
The rational behind this lesson is bringing back the simplest forms of learning, which is done through storytelling. After reading "Making the Environment Personal: Storytelling as a Tool for Environmental Education" by G. Reis and M. Harrison, I really appreciated the use of a comforting and familiar method to explain scientific concepts. Therefore, I decided to share this with the students and introduce them to the fact that biology shouldn't always be serious and bland, it can be passed on through creative methods, such as storytelling.
