Today, students started thinking about where we, as humans, originated from. We started brainstorming on the board and the following words were written down: DNA, evolution, cells, primates, religion, beliefs, natural selection, and dinosaurs to mention a few. The students had many questions and our discussions were very deep. Dyamontae had such great conversation starters and it is clear the others are just as great!
