Agenda- Monday, Aug. 29, 2011

1. Introduce Projects – 10 min

1. Test Corrections/Review – 20 min

1. Sketch and Label the Plant Cell – 30 min

Cell Projects1. Analogy Collage:

Draw a typical plant or animal cell on a small (6" X 8") piece of drawing paper.

Paste the drawing in the center of a large sheet of construction paper or a small poster.

Draw pointers or arrows from the cell structures leading to pictures cut from magazines or newspapers.

Write a functional analogy expressed in the your own words that describes the relationship between the picture and cell structure.

For example: If you had an arrow pointing from the Golgi Apparatus to a picture of a UPS truck, your analogy could be written like this: “The Golgi Apparatus packages and transports organelles like UPS packages and transports computers for Dell.”

Cell Projects2. Rap or Song:

Using the information that you’ve learned about animal and plant cells, create a rap or song.

You can rap or sing about many topics including:an organelle and its functionthe differences between organellesthe similarities between organellesor any other APPROVED topic

Your rap or song must have at least two verses and a hook (or chorus). You can have more than two verses if you would like. I don’t won’t to limit your creativity.

Raps and Songs cannot include any explicit lyrics. In other words, NO CURSING.

Cell Projects3. Poem:

Using the information that you’ve learned about animal and plant cells, create a poem.

Your poem must be at least be 10 lines (or verses).

Refer to the topics list in #2.

4. Mini-Essay:Using the information that you’ve learned about

animal and plant cells, write a mini-essayThe essay must be at least three paragraphs,

and each paragraph must have at least five sentences.

Refer to the topics list in #2.

Test CorrectionsUse your notes to correct the problems that are

marked incorrect on your test.

You may work in groups or collaborate to make test corrections.

Test corrections must be turned in by the end of today!!

By turning in test corrections, you will earn up to10 percentage points to your score!!

We will review the correct responses on Wednesday during class time.

Today’s Objectives

I will identify the organelles in plant and animal cells.

I will articulate the function of organelles in plant and animal cells.

Sketching the Plant Cell

You will sketch a drawing of the plant cell on the next slide.

You will label the following organelles:

Vacuole, Mitochondria, Chloroplast, Ribosomes

Golgi Apparatus, Endoplasmic Reticulum

Plasma Membrane (same as Cell Membrane)

Nucleus, Nucleolus, Cytoplasm

Peroxisome (similar to a lysosome)

On a separate sheet of paper, you will use your notes to create a chart, listing the function of each organelle.
