    This document outlines a genetics project where students assume the role of expecting parents who discover their child may be born with a genetic disorder. Students must research the disorder and present information in four parts: the doctor's report on symptoms/treatments; the genetic counselor's report on inheritance; considerations from the parents' perspective; and available community resources. The presentation must include at least six pictures, be written in the student's own words, cite five references using MLA or APA format, and can take a creative format like a scrapbook or comic book.

    Scenario: Pretend that 15 years from now you and your spouse decide to have a child. You decide to have
    prenatal genetic testing done and discover that your child may be born with a genetic disorder. What does this
    mean for you, your family, and your future child?

    Overview: In this project, you will assume the position of an expecting parent who may have a child with a
    genetic disease. You will research your disorder and create a visual presentation that includes all of the

    MLA or APA format. Use the Internet (with reputable sources), but also be creative! Use magazines, books,
    and interviews with doctors or parents of children with your disorder. www.easybib.com is a great resource to
