Public Service Announcement
Integrated with the Dining by Design Research Model.
A local consumer advocacy group has approached your school and requested help in informing the public about genetically-modified food. Your biotechnology class has accepted the challenge. Working as a group, students will research the topics in the list below, one group member assigned to each topic question. At the completion of the research phase, students will participate in a "jigsaw" activity in which "experts" representing each topic question will meet together to share their information. These "experts" will then return to their original groups to teach their topic to the members of the group. In this way, each group member will learn something about every topic question in order to create their informational product about genetically-engineered food.
After completing your research and sharing you will use your findings to create a Public Service Announcement for disseminating your information to your consumer audience:
360 minutes (180 research/write, 90 film, 90 edit)
Demonstrate an understanding of the biotechnology that affects production and management in order to ensure a safe, adequate food supply.
Demonstrate an understanding of the impact of biotechnology on the environment in order to ensure the health and prosperity of the world's population.
