Anticipatory Set - secondary
Part of Lesson Plan: Bioethics: Fetal Tissue Transplantation
Activity Overview / Details
Additional hook, because it further draws my students in to the lesson - but it has elements of direct instruction as well. Show a short segment of the 60 Minutes program called, "Life, Death and Politics". This is the story of a Baptist minister and his wife who have a child afflicted with Hurler's Syndrome, a lethal genetic disease that may respond to fetal tissue transplantation.
Using the "Depth and Complexity Icons" by Dr. Sandra Kaplan, ask the students to identify which icons we will be using in class to study this matter. Hopefully, they come up with the ethics icon, the unanswered questions icon, and the different perspectives icon. This usually helps focus the students on where we are headed for the day with respect to thinking.
