1.
Examine a human genetic condition (either a disease or a disorder) using the
Internet, library, current articles, etc., and prepare a report according to the
specifications of the attached rubric.

Neatly done. Rules easy to understand? Difficulty level? Fun to play?
Your cards must have questions from classroom material we have covered.
3/22/06
Work on Game:
1. WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN? Ideas for games can come from class, your textbook, the videos we looked at, or internet. Write down a list of vocabulary, labs, and activities.
Then pick out one thing as the game idea. Next, think of an OBJECT for the game--this tells players what they have to do to win.
3/23/06
Work on Game:
2. WRITE DOWN THE RULES! Write down a few basic rules that you will need to play the game: how to get started, how to move, how the game ends, special rules and so on.
These rules will change as the game is tested by playing it with other people.
3/24/06
Work on Game:
3. MAKE THE BOARD ! I have supplied your group with a blank board, dice and moving pieces. The IDEA is the most important thing.
The game that PLAYS the best is better than the game that LOOKS the best.
Remember you only get one board. Before you start drawing on it, make a design on Graph paper.

Review for a quiz
4/08/05 Please copy and paste into Word. Due Monday
Special report:
Lallasism---The genetic disorder called Lallasism (ll
- the recessive trait) is not obvious on first glance. This
homozygous recessive trait has been located on all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Lallasism is not a physical appearance but personality and movement
characteristics, which causes you to act like your favorite biology teacher.
Some symptoms of this disease are: a good sense of humor, a tendency to make a
lot of jokes (not necessarily good ones), a habit of making puns associated with
your name, a strong liking for science, a tendency
to scrape against the corners of desks until you wear a hole through your pants, liking to put everything onto the internet, floppy hand gestures, liking really dorky
glasses, and liking the names Nick and Anastasia for kids names.
Have no fear, Lallasism is not deadly. Don't think that you are cursed, tell
yourself that you are one of the few lucky ones. Have you been showing
some symptoms of a certain rare disease that I have heard about....a disease
known as Lallasism?
