A1-Groupwork. Weren’t sure how to split them up. Work with Flickr, make or take three different pictures, labeled parts and where from (standard of diversity and unity).

A2 – Pairs/Triads. Create a candy model of the different organs. (AP Bio. Class did this and it stuck really well. In honor of this activity…!)

A3 – Individual: Choose a function of a plant and write an I-paper, poem, presentation. (I-paper can be quite differentiatied by itself. I did this with the 5 pillars of Islam – kids got into it and had lots of fun.)

Assessment: Identify what they’ve learned and then create a project that shows the learning and present it to the class.

Rubric: Complete all elements of assessment. Research/content accurate. Method is clear, to the point, content comes through. Have students put own input on the rubric, what they want to be assessed on. Cool. Also good way to assess relative to the project: the song, children’s book. -
