3)  Equine Anatomy and Physiology

They will then choose a specific subtopic to focus on.
For example a student may choose Topic 1 with the subtopic of "Vitamin Supplements for the Performance Horse". Subtopics may range from very specific (Breeding to produce the Palomino) to more general (Common lameness that occur in horses). Students will be encouraged to...

Students will learn details about the topic of their choice while improving research and independent study skills.
Students will improve cooperation skills and brainstorming techniques. They will learn presentation and public speaking skills. Students will gain experience with rubric based grading.

This class will require extensive time outside of the meeting. Students will be expected to have a least three sources for their paper and presentation. Presentations will need to be on Google Slides, Prezi, Power Point or some other similar program. The topic choice will determine the time needed. The teacher will be happy to suggest resources.  She will also be available outside of class for meetings or communication as needed.

Students will be graded on this project. They will be provided with a rubric for both the paper and presentation before the first class. We will discuss the rubric in the first class to be sure they understand the expectations. 
Class grade will be as follows-
