We're approaching the end of the digestion unit, and the textbook has never gotten deep enough with the content to explain what gluten is, let alone how it could cause me – and others who have difficulties digesting gluten – so many problems. So I did some research online and compiled it into three short readings on the subject. We covered this information in table groups, and while we're not going to be covering it on a quiz, I thought it was important to try to bring us back to the original puzzling phenomenon we were trying to solve.Readings on Gluten and Celiac Disease
After completing the readings, we created final versions of our digestion posters based on everything we have learned in the unit. It was very clear that we have learned a lot about digestion in a short period of time!
