The Organ Oracle

Often, textbooks are written by people disconnected from experience in a classroom and students have difficulty following or making sense of the content of a textbook. For this trimester, students were tasked with writing a textbook that is a) readable and understandable by students their age or even younger and b) full of the type of personality that makes reading a textbook fun and not just a chore. Students were placed in groups and assigned an organ system to research and write about. I hope you enjoy reading the Organ Oracle.
