Homeostasis Open Forum Discussion

Genetic Engineering Open Forum Discussion

Here is how the debate will work.....

1. I will present the Quizizz slid and you will first take a minute to respond on Quizizz

2. I will ask who is for or against the idea

3. I will then allow people to state why they believe that side

4. The floor will open for a dis​cussion

5. You will get points by either being a representative of one side of the argument or by voicing your opinion in the open forum.

IF you speak out of turn or do not respect the contributions of others, you will lose all points and be removed from the activity.

​If you do not abide the rules:

Here is the situation:

We, as a class, are going to be some of the first people to experience genetic engineering with CRISPR in our lifetime. We have been assembled before a court to answer questions from the Chief of the Genetic Engineering division about our views and how it will affect the rest of human history. The teacher will play the role as the Chief and moderate the discussions. Remember, these decisions will impact the rest of human history.​
