·        Dissect the example from the TSM (Linking questions as connections between different conceptual lenses pages 5 and 6).

·        Use the Biology guide to choose one linking question in a topic.

·        Try to imagine where the question might extend the material from three given topics.

·        Answer the question: How can the topics be linked in a way other than the organizational themes and levels of organization used in the DP Biology guide?

Produce an artifact similar to the one in the TSM to be uploaded to the Padlet – Collaborative Work (shared documents)

# data[].attributes.body
Come up with your own linking question.

Bonus Activity: What topics does this question link to?

# data[].attributes.body
Choose another group’s linking question from activity 2.

·        Discuss one "glow" and one "grow" feedback comment on the linking question topics selected.

·        Construct a digital timeline for delivery of topics selected to ensure student ability to answer the linking question successfully.

Nominate one volunteer to present back to group (2 min per group provided 20 participants in group)
