Latasha+Lampkin


 * Welcome to Spring 2011 Biology**

I am your teacher, Ms. Lampkin. I am originally from Mississippi, and I graduated from Delta State University with an undergraduate degree in Biology. I also obtained my Masters degree from Delta State in Biology/Biology Education. I look forward to working with each of you this semester.

Those who can, teach. I am convinced that there is no other profession that allows a single individual to have as much influence on so many others the way that teaching does. I have had the opportunity to serve as a teacher for eleven years, and honestly, I am the one who is learning more and more each day.

This course will concentrate on an inquiry approach to the environment, cells, heredity and natural selection. You will focus on the molecular and cellular aspects of life, continuity and diversity of life, systems and interactions, and the impact of the individual on the world. This course will follow the mandated Georgia Performance Standards as well as prepare students for the End of Course Exam. As an IB World School, this course will be taught following the standards and requirements of the Middle Years Program with a very global approach to learning.

Throughout this semester, you will need to access this site as a source of information. I will frequently post announcements, group discussion questions, and all other major assignments on this wiki. You should consider this your primary line of communication for this class.
