Missing Letters About Literature RRDs

Ladies:

I have received RRDs for the Letters About Literature from the following people. If you don't see your name on this list, that means that your RRD is late. Please get a hard copy of it to me ASAP so that I have adequate time to give you editorial feedback.

(Also know that I have one letter to J.K. Rowling with no name on it...just a "Sincerely...")

POW #5

POW #5

Choose between one of the following problems, or do all three!

Prime Number: A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two positive integer factors, 1 and itself. For example, if we list the factors of 28, we have 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. That's six factors. If we list the factors of 29, we only have 1 and 29. That's two factors. So we say that 29 is a prime number, but 28 isn't.

If a number is NOT prime, it is called "composite."

PRIME Question
What is the greatest prime number that can be represented as both the sum of 2 prime numbers and as the difference of 2 prime numbers?

OR

Ruby's Numbers
The sum of Ruby's numbers is 31. The square root of the different of the two numbers is 5. What are Ruby's two numbers?


OR

Walking the Earth
For this problem, assume that the earth is a perfect sphere. A person who is 2 meters tall is walking around the earth at the equator. How much further will the person's head travel compared with her feet? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Genetics Test Extra Credit

You may earn up to 20 extra credit points on the genetics test by answering the following four questions, each with a full paragraph (at least 3 sentences, preferably 5 or more). First, view the two movie clips taken from "Race: The Power of an Illusion" and then answer each question in turn (you can also find the transcript of the movie here if it helps to read it, instead of or in addition to watching it). The completed essays will be due by class time on Monday, November 8. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about the assignment during lunch or breaks this week.

1. What is skin color not genetically concordant with (related to) and why is this important to understanding what race is and isn't?

2. What did you and the students in these videos discover about the the ability of skin color or geographic ancestry to predict genetic similarities or differences?

3. Where did all humans live when the most fundamental genetic variations in our species evolved and what does this tell us about ourselves?

4. If the science of genetic difference has been clear for almost 40 years, why do you believe people still look to skin color as a key indicator of biological difference?
