Description
In this lesson, students read two excerpts. The first describes Skloot’s encounter with Zakariyya (Henrietta’s son), when he discusses his anger with the Hopkins’ scientists. The second describes a visit that Skloot, Deborah, and Zakariyya make to Hopkins to meet a scientist, who ends up being surprisingly kind to the Lacks family. Students consider how this excerpt affects Zakariyya’s ideas about the medical community. Students continue to pre-search areas of investigation or homework.
