High schooler invents tool to detect wound infection
1. Show main photo of Dasia Taylor
2. Talk about main ideas --> young black woman, high-school senior; science competition; preventing infection = suture turns a color when pH of skin changes (indicating infection)
3. Present vocabulary (20 words/concepts) in a PP, and give out corresponding handout:
scrape
scratch
infection
develop = create = make
wound
finalist = one of the top people in a competition
competition
suture
germs
treat
skin
(pH scale with examples of common items)
thread
stitch
sterile environment
scientific research = scientific investigation
“to be over the moon” = to be very, very happy
stereotypes (were flying)
phenomenal
white-dominated spaces = places where most of the people are white
Create a handout to go along with it, which students can translate at home, by starting in the classroom for about 10 minutes
4. Hand out article + quiz
5. Read aloud feature in “Present” mode (Should I also read it one more time?)
Students can follow along on their copy or by watching the screen
(Was that helpful?)
6. Read as a class
7. Quiz, 10 minutes by self, then together
8. Share link by e-mailing it to all
