You will be assigned in groups of 4.
Each member of the group must accept responsibility to become the
“expert” on one of the following topics:
1. fertilization
2. differentiation
3. female reproductive hormones
4. fetal development
Note: If a group has more than four, two members may be experts on
the same topic.
Once assignments are made, you will have an amount of time
determined by your teacher to meet with the other “experts” on your
topic. (For example: All of the fertilization experts will meet together.)
In your expert groups, you will research your topic (using your text and
any other resources available) and develop one page of important
points.
In addition, you are to write 5 multiple choice questions (as a group) that
would measure understanding of the important points you wrote on your
topic. (These questions must be turned in to your teacher.)

You will go back to your original group, and will teach them what you
know about your topic. Group members should take notes on the key
points you share with them.
In addition, you will listen to the other group members as they teach you
about the topic they became experts on.

Appendix 1H17.04C
Following group instruction and classroom discussion, take a teacher
prepared quiz on Female Reproductive Physiology. Your teacher will
create the quiz using the questions written by each group.
