« Cell Structures and Organelles | Main | Friday classwork and homework »

Link here for the assignment. Remember your login? It is the same as the lesson/activity on cell size. The quick link is 248.

For homework, students should prepare a first draft of a want ad or job description for their team's organelle. It should be typed and ready for editing in class. The final product is due on Friday.

Remember each person should do only one of the assignments...the job description or the want ad.

Here is a sample want ad that I found online; it is adapted from the work of a student in South Lake, TX. Can you guess the organelle?

“Looking for a great opportunity to lead? Do you enjoy making decisions for others? Is guidance your strong point? If so, we are seeking to fill a managerial position. We are in need of a control center for a cell. Must be able to operate a cell. Should have solid experience reading and de-coding DNA. Should exhibit strong leadership skills. Benefits include: placement in low-stress arm cells, long life guaranteed...you don't die; you just divide and multiply! If interested contact The Body at 817-8WE-CELL.”

Your want ad should be created with a 2.5 in wide space for the text. Change your margins or create a text box for your ad. We will try to piece our ads together to make a "page from the newspaper" to post in the room. Do not include the name of your organelle in the ad so other students can try to figure out which one it is.

Your grade will be determined by how well you communicate what you have learned about your organelle. See the rubric below.

Tomorrow is DEAR time in science and we will spend some time finishing our egg-speriment on membrane transport. Remember to bring in the last soaking liquid for your egg.
