- Created for a real audience
- Has a purpose
3Final Team Product/Performance
- Reflects mastery of all benchmarks
- Is a synthesis of individual team work, not a
collection of individual pieces - Students use technology in order to communicate

directions play in each response?

14- Genetics
- FINAL TEAM PERFORMANCE
- What understandings of genetics and behavior are
essential for responsible dog ownership? -
- Each team will produce a guide to answer the
essential question and promote responsible dog
ownership. The guide will include the reasons
such a guide is needed, a genetic comparison of
mixed breed and purebred dogs, the genetic
characteristics of a particular breed and
environmental conditions necessary to bring out
the best in the breed. These guides will be
compiled and published on the schools web site.
This will then serve as a link from several
humane societies websites. - A portfolio will be kept throughout the unit to
aid the students in managing the information
necessary to complete the final project. The
following forms will be used -
- Reasons and statistics to support the publication
of the guide (1) - Mixed breed dogs vs. purebred dogs and essential
characteristics of both (2) - Scientific explanation of genetics of teams
assigned breed (3) - Genetic disposition imperative for potential
owners to consider in ownership of that
particular breed. (3) - Your ideas about the environment necessary for
bringing out the best of the breed.
