Part 1: My story

Angelman Syndrome gene story

Part 2: The making of my Mutation Story

Some of the questions I answered to aid me in making my gene story:

•  How does the syndrome effect my host’s life?
• how does the protagonist of my story work inside the cell?
• How does the syndrome effect the functioning of the host’s body?
• What caused the mutation to occur?

Some digital tools i used to aid in the making of my story:

• Google chrome
• bookmarked pages that I used to research my mutation
• other websites then Wikipedia
• Microsoft Word

Order I did my work:

• Research mutation
• brainstorm and make notes about mutation/story
• forget about story until day before due date
• write story
• proof read my story
• check criteria
• make Edublog post
• check criteria again
• sit back and relax

Overall I found this project enjoyable. I love writing and getting a chance to write a story about something that relates to both writing and science inspired me. I don’t think there’s anything about this project I would do differently, only that I should’ve finished sooner 🙂
