Assignment
Part A: List, in bullet point fashion, your top 3 Take-Aways (knowledge that you gained) from reading Chapter 9. See the assignment instructions for examples of appropriate Take-Aways.
Things to know about 'take-away' statements:
a) 'Take-Away's' are substantial statements that identify important and factual information about the chapters read.
b) Statements should represent information that students find interesting or important to each segment in the episode and does not need to be verbatim (exactly as stated) from the video but can be a summary statement that reflects information. Think college-level thoughts
EXAMPLES:
Example of a poor statement: GMOs are bad.
Why it is poor - not substantial and definitely not college level thinking.
Example of an appropriate statement: GMOs have not been tested thoroughly. GMO safety tests are sometimes as short as 90 days, which is not long enough to prove that a substance is safe for long term, multi-generational human consumption.
Why it is appropriate - brings up a couple of points and the statement itself reflects more substantial college-level structure and thinking.
