Engage
In the writing team's shared Google Drive, go to the Reference Documents folder and locate the LEARN Button Functions (Unpublished Items) infographic. Use this infographic to help you navigate LEARN and the Review Queue buttons.
Access this lesson as if it has just been submitted for publication:
Access https://learn.k20center.ou.edu/. Log in if necessary.
Once on your My LEARN page, navigate to the K20 Center tab on the left toolbar.
Select Publication Triage.
Select the Submitted tab at the top of the page. The submitted queue is where lessons and other LEARN documents appear when other K20 collaborators finish writing a lesson and submit it to us for editing, translating, branding, and publication.
Find your training lesson. Locate the icons to the right of the lesson’s name and select the paper airplane.
Return to the K20 Center tab on the left toolbar.
Select Review Queue.
Find your training lesson in the New queue. Note that you can select the name of the lesson to preview it.
Select the Review button to the right of the lesson’s name.
Select the yellow Edit button in the control panel on the right side of the window.
Once you are in the editing interface of this lesson, add a sentence below about your favorite color:
My favorite color is turquoise.
Select Save at the top of the page to save your changes. Select Preview to see how your edit would look in the live version of the lesson.
Next, select Close Draft.
Remember to save often. You can navigate away from the editing interface without closing your draft, but other collaborators cannot access or edit your open draft. When it’s time to send a lesson to the next step in the process, you’ll need to be sure your draft is closed.
Explore
Download the attached LEARN templates from the "Facilitator Resources" section. Then, follow these instructions to save the templates to your computer for future use.
After you have saved the templates to your computer’s Custom Office Templates folder, read the information contained within each template to learn more about LEARN's style and formatting conventions.
Each time you edit a Word document for K20, you should begin by opening either the vertical or horizontal LEARN template to ensure the formatting and style align with K20's branding. The same goes for the Lesson Slides template in PowerPoint.
Carefully read (or reread) the instructions in the Jira subtasks titled "Getting to Know LEARN" and "The Queue." Follow these instructions as you work through the rest of this lesson and let your trainer know if you have any questions.
Explain
Time for editing! Finally!
Update the CEQ spreadsheet by typing "[Your Name] (In Progress)" in the "Copy Editing" column. Type "In Progress" in the Status column. (If this were a real lesson edit, you would have completed these steps in the CEQ spreadsheet as soon as you opened the draft in LEARN—keeping the CEQ spreadsheet current allows other editors to see who has "claimed" a lesson and is actively working on it.)
Download the attached Learner Handouts as well as the Lesson Slides from Facilitator Resources. Using the appropriate LEARN template, edit each attachment using APA style and K20's LEARN style and formatting conventions. When you are done editing and formatting each file, reupload each edited attachment to its corresponding category.
Here's some information that might be helpful as you edit the attachments:
Lesson title: Who Was Henrietta Lacks?
K20 LEARN's file naming convention: [Handout Name]—[Name of Lesson]
Extend
Introduce the lesson using the attached Lesson Slides. Display slide 3 and ask students to consider the essential question: Should scientists be able to use the tissues or cells of a person for research without the person's consent?
Move to slide 4 and pass out the attached Inside Out handout. Using the Inside Out strategy, have students record their individual responses to the essential question in the innermost circle. Emphasize to students that there are no wrong answers here. This is a question many will feel differently about, and students’ opinions might shift as they gather more information. The handout will be used through the Explore portion of the lesson, so ask students to keep theirs on hand.
Move to slide 5 and play the following video, titled “The Immortal Cells of Henrietta Lacks,” to introduce her as the person whose cells became the first immortalized human cell line.
After the video, move to slide 6 and share the lesson’s learning objective with students.
Display slide 7 and ask students to get into groups of four. Then pass out copies of the following readings to each group or have students access them online:
Societal: “Henrietta Lacks: Science Must Right a Historical Wrong”
Medical: “Five Reasons Henrietta Lacks Is the Most Important Woman in Medical History”
In their groups, instruct each student to choose just one of the four articles to read. Each group member must read a different article, as they will use the Jigsaw strategy later to share what they learned with the rest of their group.
