Directions & Rules of Engagement:

 

1) Identify whether that individual is aware of the concept of Antibiotic Resistance before proceeding.   If they 'fully' understand the concept, you will want to locate another for this assignment.  If they have heard of the concept, but not 'fully' aware of all the moving parts, then you can proceed.  If they have not heard of the concept - even better - and you will gain more from this experience.  

 

 

 

"Define the term Antibiotic Resistance, and explain how Antibiotic Resistance develops in a population of bacteria."

1)     Give them time to answer the question.  If they initially say 'I have no idea', encourage them try and break down the words and give it their best shot.  Also, do not allow them to use outside sources so they can brush up!  

 

2)     Now teach the entire concept and explain the process that leads to the development of Antibiotic Resistance populations of bacteria.   You may find that explaining Natural Selection and providing examples is beneficial for your students understanding.  Examples are a useful tool, but sometimes what we take away is only the example and not and understanding of the concept.  It can be helpful to give multiple examples, or ask them provide you an example they are comfortable explaining and then critique their understanding.

 

3)     Once they have completed their final answer, DRAW A LINE UNDER THEIR FINAL RESPONSE, and I would like you to spend some time reflecting on the experience...what worked, what didn't, what did you learn, how could you have taught this differently, did you need to re-group and teach it a different way, etc.  These are the types of thoughts I would like you to write down in your reflection.
