- Introduce the topic and and your definition of evolution that you acquired from this curriculum web.
- Discuss how you will be teaching evolution to their children. Give examples of lessons that you will incorporate into your unit.
- Address a couple roadblocks or pitfalls that might occur (See Activity 4) and how the class will overcome them.
