Alternative 2.12-2.14 assignments

If you have not yet started assignments 2.12, 2.13, and 2.14, you can choose to watch those videos or to instead complete some book work. The videos are what I had planned, and you may still use those for the class, but since we will no longer have the laptops in class, I am making book-work available for those who cannot watch the videos.

When you take the unit test, I will ask questions based on whichever assignments you completed for the unit.

Here are the alternative assignments:
2.12 -- Read pages 510-528, and answer questions #1-2 on p. 515, #1-3 on p. 522, and #1-3 on p. 528. Here's a link to the chapter PDF.
2.13 -- Read pages 538-552 , and answer questions #1-4 on page 544, and #1-4 on page 552
2.14 -- Read the article, "Less jaw, big brain: Evolution milestone laid to gene flaw" from the NYTimes. Write a summary explanation of how a gene flaw helped lead to human evolution. Then read the article, "How language may have evolved to help our ancestors make tools," from Science. Write a summary of the evidence connecting language development and tool-making.
