Sequencing
Notes.
 The
sequencing
notes will be
placed on the
overhead
camera. This
will enable the
students to
copy the
sequencing
notes.
 While the
students copy
these notes the
teacher will go
into further
detail about the
process of
meiosis.
 After the
introduction of
meiosis, the
teacher will
review the
