Diversity Unit Day 2

ASSEMBLY SCHEDULE TOMORROW. 2ND PERIOD STARTS AT 8:15.

1. We began with a 2 point warm up question "List the categories that living things are divided into from most general to most specific." 
2. Next I gave a 2009 free response question on the topic of phylogeny.  We traded and graded these in class, using it as another opportunity to discuss strategies on the AP Bio exam.  Students kept their essays and they were not entered in the Gradebook.
3. We then completed our notes on prokaryotes.  If you were absent you should get these notes from a classmate.  While completing these notes we checked and corrected this section in the Diversity Unit packet, which was then returned to me.

Note: 2nd period did not do the FRQ or warmup.  Instead we finished prokaryotes and introduced Kingdom Protista.  Part of class was focused on the theory of endosymbiosis.

HW: DUE MONDAY - Reading guide and handout for Chapters 29 and 30 on Plants.

We will be focusing on Kingdom Protista tomorrow.
