Directions

Working with your partner, you will create a Genetic Disorders Wiki on a disorder of your choice. You will present your wiki to the class to explain your genetic disorder. A rubric is linked from the home page or can be found at Genetic Disorders Rubric. This will be used to grade your group's final project.
