8. E ARLY DEVELOPMENT IN ANIMALS : Protostome = an animal whose blastopore becomes their mouth (‘proto’  ‘first’, and ‘stoma’  ‘mouth’) Deuterostome = an animal whose blastopore becomes their anus (‘deutero’  ‘second’, ‘stoma’  ‘mouth’) *All vertebrates are deuterostomes *Answer question #4 on page 663

9. E ARLY DEVELOPMENT IN ANIMALS : DEVELOPMENT Endoderm = ‘inner skin’ Forms digestive tract + respiratory system Mesoderm = ‘middle skin’ Forms muscles, circulatory, reproductive, excretory systems Ectoderm = ‘outer skin’ Forms sense organs, nerves, outer layer of skin

10. P RESENTATIONS : G ENERAL COMMENTS Speak clearly (volume and speed) Show interest Make eye contact Avoid reading (power point, not power paragraph) Both presenters should speak Don’t run away and sit down while people are asking questions

11. Know your material (meanings and pronunciations) If you don’t understand it, don’t include it in the presentation-or (even better) find out what it means Proofread for errors (spelling, missing words) Include sources of information Include information asked for in rubric given by the teacher
