What to Do for Mr. Bursch's Biology/Honors Biology During the School Closure

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOLOGY and HONORS BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Students and Parents,

The school district is making some educational resources available through their (sjusd.org) website--using those resources is recommended but still optional. The last thing we teachers were told by the school district leadership team was that no assignments should be given or graded by any teachers during the three week quarantine period. Hopefully we will resume classes in 2 - 4 weeks, and if we do, then I will just remove the symposium research project from our calendar and we should have enough time to finish our last two units and do our final exam. During this time away from school, Biology students may wish to work on missing / late assignments, and Biology and Honors Biology students may want to to use this time to work on / complete any already assigned work (from the genetics unit, TSOTS, or the ESLP project) that would have been due during the mandated closure period. Completing at least some of this work now will make the transition back to normal school routines a bit less stressful and should offer something to (temporarily, at least) take students minds off of the anxiety-inducing happenings going on around the planet right now. If we don't return this school year, there is a good chance we will use an online learning platform to complete classes for this school year--that would probably start up in two weeks. As soon as I have more information, I will post a blog post on our class website. Until then, stay safe and feel free to reach out to me via email anytime.


Take care,

Mr. Bursch
