Theresa,

Sure, feel free to adapt the project to meet your needs. I greatly appreciate your asking for permission. It is rare to find such honesty.

I am now working as a full-time substitute at Neshaminy High School in Bucks County, PA. In addition to the site you have found, I have a teaching portfolio at [|www.pages.drexel.edu/~jlh55] that is a work in progress. There are a few lesson planning materials located on the site that may or may not be of use to you. I would love to update the site when I get the chance. I started this position mid-year though and have had little time to do so.

I hope you do not mind me asking, but do you have a teaching website or other materials you would not mind sharing? I am always on the lookout for good materials which are hard to come by for first-year teachers as I am sure you can remember. I find myself writing so many of my own activities, which can be rather time-consuming. We're about to start a unit on Mendelian Genetics. Do you have any suggestions? The only thing we did so far was a Coin Toss Genetics mini-lab that I created where my students then drew their offspring.

Jennifer,

I would like permission to use and adapt your Genetic disease project. I am a Media Specialist collaborating with a Grade 8 science teacher on this topic. I will fully attribute to you. You have done a GREAT job on this unit.

Good luck with the rest of your studies. Whatever district is fortunate to hire you will no doubt know how lucky they were to get you.
