Presentations

 (AD and GM demonstrate what a good presentation looks like)

You are going to research material for a presentation next class on a domesticated plant or animal of your choosing (e.g. bees, cows, grapes, goats, apples, cats, cotton, camels, strawberries, chicken, rice, sheep, tomatoes, silk worms, potatoes, etc. – we already presented wheat and corn). You can work alone or with one partner.

Each presenter or group of presenters must find the following information for their presentation:

1 – The name and a picture (on cell phone or flash drive) of your domesticated plant or animal.
2 – The name and a picture of its wild ancestor.
3 – Its place of origin.
4 – When it was first domesticated and by whom.
5 – When it was first transported on each continent.
6 – An anecdote about this plant or animal.
