Lesson 1
The
students will be placed into groups of four.
Utilizing
the resources provided within this project and/or conducting their
own Internet search (please refer to the "Resource" and
"Online Experts" sections), each group will come up with four, reputable,
websites that support the use of animals in biochemical research
and four, reputable, websites that oppose this practice. Record
your findings in the "Student Collected Project Data"
section.
Each
group will review the information in favor and against the use of
animals in research. They will clarify questions and
concerns that may arise by conducting further research and
discussion.
The
professor will select half of the groups to take the pro side and
half of the groups to take the con side of the issue. (Please
refer to the "Instructor" section for specific details
on the debate and to the "Resource" section for more
ideas)
Each
group will prepare to defend their side in a debate. Each
group will select a debate team. The team should be composed of at
least three speakers and up to two resource persons.
A
debate
will be conducted in the class between the two groups, pro and
con. The teacher will select students to act as judges,
moderator, time keeper, team members, and any other role required for the
debate.
Instructions
for debate are provided in the "Instructor Area"
section.
Make
sure to record your findings in the "Student Collected
Project Data" section.
