This weekend's homework is to:
1. read the genetic engineering article you received and to write a 1 page response to "What place should genetic engineering have in our food supply?" This may be collected on Tuesday.
2. review your notes and the readings from this week in order to write a 1 page reflection on what you learned about modern agriculture this week. Some ideas for focusing your writing include: "How sustainable is our food supply?," "Will we be able to feed 9 billion people by 2050?," or "How should agriculture be practiced?" This may be collected on Tuesday.
3. review your notes for Tuesday's check-in (postponed from Friday)
4. review your populations exam so that we can discuss it and/or you can correct it after school on Tuesday
