1 INSTUCT S ATIFICIAL B-3 GUIDE INSEMINATIN equired Activities and esources ( ) These are fully integrated components of this CIMC curriculum. They are usually packaged in or with the curriculum and are essential in meeting the learning objectives. To individualize this unit, use the LAP Sheet supplied in your resources. eproducible Handouts and Transparency Masters are included in the Instructor s esource Package. Handouts should be copied for all students. Transparency Masters should be used to make overhead transparencies for use during instruction. A small copy of each Transparency Master appears in the student s Information Sheets. Non-reproducible resources are included in the student s curriculum. ptional Activities and esources ( ) These are suggested high-interest activities to help deliver learning objectives to students or to let students achieve objectives in an applied context. Select as many as you wish to use. Some activities use extra resources for further information about unit content. You can make them available in the classroom for in-depth study or optional activities, but their use is not required for meeting CIMC unit objectives.
