Cell Division Unit Project Name: ____________________
CORE: _____________
Big idea: Cells are derived from cells.
Your goal is to demonstrate your learning from this unit through at least
one form of representation.
Forms of representation include but not limited to:
a model
a poster
an essay, storybook, or comic
a PowerPoint presentation
a video or drama reenactment
At least one of the personal learning outcomes (PLOs) should be be
addressed.
We will distribute the PLOs evenly between all the groups to ensure that
the unit is well represented at our showcase.
Project can be completed independently or with one other partner of
personal choice.
Showcase: After all the class time given to complete the project is over,
we will do a class showcase. This means the classroom will be set up for
everyone to rotate and show off their project to each other.
Date of showcase: Thursday November 9, 2017!
In addition to your method of representation, you need to submit a project
journal. The journal tracks your thinking, planning, and organizing
process of the project.
