Description
Updated and Improved!
In this updated transcription tutorial, students will progress their way through animations, review questions, and various diagrams to illustrate/animate the process of RNA transcription in a unique and easy to follow manner.
Students will begin with an introduction to DNA and genes. They will progress their way through the process of transcription, RNA processing of introns and exons, and culminate with a review quiz to check for understanding.
This is not a simple PowerPoint presentation where students are shown bullet point main ideas. This PowerPoint is full of creative animations and probing questions that require a student generated answer in order to proceed.
This download includes 4 files:
1) The interactive PowerPoint tutorial
2) Student worksheet (Word format)
3) Student worksheet (PDF format)
4) Teacher answer key
Common questions I have been asked:
1) Can Chromebooks and Google Slides run this tutorial? The answer is "probably not." I created the tutorial using Microsoft PowerPoint, which is simply more powerful than Google Slides. Much of the interactivity that I created in the tutorial will be lost. Most of the animations that I created will not work. I wish there was a better answer.
2) How do you use this tutorial in your classroom?
- option A: Place the tutorial on your school's LMS for your students to access. My school district uses Google Classroom. So I simply upload this tutorial into Google Classroom and my students can access the file from there.
- option B: Gather a collection of old USB/thumb drives. You can then save the tutorial onto the USB drives and hand them to students as needed.
3) How did you obtain a class set of USB/thumb/flash drives?
Some of the USB drives I purchased years ago for my own needs. However, many were donated by colleagues as many people have extra USB drives cluttering up their drawers at home. A few were donated by students who had extras at home. Just ask around and I bet you can accumulate a small collection.
