Sign up sheet for species
Sign up for a species by writing your first name and initial of your last name, then the species you selected after you click on "Edit wiki content". Each student should select a different species, so check what species have already been claimed before choosing a species. Do not delete or modify previous entries - just add your own new one to the bottom of the list.
Name Species
Kate F. Sweetgum
Ben M. Black Elderberry
Note to Instructors
We ask students to sign up for species to make sure two students do not choose the same species. If they did so, they would get identical results.
Response questions
Graph interpretation & analysis questions are linked here.
Submission of work
Students submit their graphs through Padlet. We assign each student a column in a Padlet (it helps for the instructor to label each column with a students' name so the order matches the gradebook. Using Padlet allows students to see each other's work. This helps create a sense of community and a sense that the task is being accomplished by others.
Students submit their interpretation of graphs through a Blackboard "test".
