Background:
Each table will become experts on one of the topics below, then teach the class. You have two class periods to complete this assignment. On WEDNESDAY, each group will present to the class.
This will be graded as a project. Your individual grades will be based on completeness of the group project, accuracy of information, and individual participation.
You are permitted to do google searches for the terms, use the textbook, and/or use the links on this blog.
ASSIGNMENT (What To Do):
To become an expert, your group must work together to do the following:
1.) Have written or typed definitions for the words your table is assigned to,
2.) Answer the questions assigned to your group,
3.) Create either a flow chart or a word web that shows how those words are connected.
4.) Create an informal works cited: a list of at LEAST ten resources you used to complete the project. Any videos should be listed by their title and the site where you found them (ex: "Bozeman Biology: Macromolecules", YouTube.com). Website URLs may be listed.
*Wikipedia is NOT a listable source- instead, use the references section from the Wikipedia article you read! :)
How To Hand In Your Group Project:
-every group member's name must be on all submitted documents
-you may hand in a paper copy of the definitions and flow chart, or you may email digital copies to Ms.Clark at WClark@StamfordCT.gov
