Recall one of your most memorable encounters with insects and write a short conceptual response on the subject (approximately 4 slides).
Here are some tips for doing a good response:
1. Come up with a response, and then think about how you can use graphics to convey the story, rather than text. A little text is ok, but the assignment is asking for a graphical narration. Use of a flow chart is required as part of the response.
2. The slides content should reflect your own work. If you use images, facts, or quotes from other sources, make sure to cite those sources.
3. This is a science class. While the conceptual response prompt may call for your perspective or opinion, you should still conduct research and use scientific evidence as part of your response. Scientific facts can make your writing stronger and more interesting to a reader.
4. Look at the rubric before you turn it in, make sure you didn’t skip small details.
5. Examples can be helpful, but make this your own. Several examples of conceptual responses are now available in the Conceptual Response module. Also, check out the video that talks about how to create a conceptual response.
