Students will be taught about the evolution of Deer, known scientifically as Cervids. The topics covered would be as followed: 1. The defining characteristics of deer 2. How their antlers work 3. The earliest known deer 4. Their spread throughout Eurasia and eventually North America 5. Late Ice Age Prominence The class itself will be structured in a timeline following deer evolution. Starting with their first appearances in the early Miocene, down to their ranges in the modern day. I will be teaching this primarily through discussion and interaction. With some questioning sprinkled in. If the students feel comfortable, they are free to ask me questions, especially if they want clarification as I want them to be able to understand and enjoy learning about deer. My teaching style can best be described as interactive. Due to this learners will interact with me through slides, video clips and discussion primarily.
Metas de aprendizaje
For students to understand how deer were able to become a successful group of northern herbivores.
