Good Day Amazing Geneticist!

Jan 28, 2015

The following is a basic breakdown of the initial steps that you need to accomplish for this project. You will have Wednesday and Thursday in computer lab 306! Please reference your team folder for specific rubrics, initial letter, and team expectations. This would be a good time to review your contracts along with these items.

As you look over these tasks begin to divide the work and use your task sheets to identify specific roles!Use presentation story board to support your layout and organization.

(All items should be in team folder as well as linked on-line. If you feel as though you are missing something please e-mail me so I can have it arranged for you upon my return. Remember to be resourceful – find a way to answer questions and gather information using all your sources.)
