Chapters


 * The learning process will work best if you do not review parts 4 & 5 of a chapter until after the corresponding session. For this reason, those parts are hidden until after the session.**

The intended template for each chapter: 1. Introduce simple theme(s), building on previous sessions 1b. amplified by mini-lecture (which might include interactive activity)

2. Precis of reading with directions about reading the full work

3. Activity so students can work with simple theme, but then 3b. see its shortcomings

4. Synthesis and extensions : notes summarizing themes in more complex formulation 4b. including notes on pedagogical issues

5. Connections and resources, e.g., annotations to additional readings 5b. Online forum, through which students can provide suggestions and resources for revising the chapter 5c. Adaptation of themes from the chapter to students' own projects of learning about or engaging with biology in its social context: Suggestions for how to do that.

If you post to the blog suggestions for revision, I will forward them to Douglas Allchin, the author of the Beriberi case. For your installment on this session, adopt or adapt some of the themes implied by the Reflection questions that Allchin lists at the end, or adapt/adopt the case-based learning mode.
