Genes - All in the Family

Critical Thinking

**Analyze:** KWL Chart - add and discuss information you have learned

**Compare:** Both texts discuss DNA. How are the texts similar? How are they different? What did you learn form the experiment that you could not find out from reading the other text?

**Speculate:** People inherit their traits from their families. Why might it be helpful to know which traits you share with family members.

**Infer:** How can individuals be unique if they get all their genes from their parents?

**Generalize:** Do you think that people who closely resemble a parent physically can also be like that parent in other way? Explain your answer with supporting details.

**Write in Response to Literature: ** Opinion Paragraph - What determines who you are? Do you think it is mostly your genes that decide? Look for supporting details in the text to support your opinion.
