Hey Students,

Some of you have been doing a great job working on your 4 tasks, the Prezi, organelle worksheet, trading cards and drawings, but some of you really need to step it up.  I am going to postpone our Prezi presentations until after Thanksgiving break.  If you are not done, you need to be by Friday.  If you are done, I am going to give you access to my Flocabulary account so you can check out the cells and living things rhyme.  

The Flocabulary Books are in the purple cubbie and you can follow along with the lyrics.  I want you to do the Challenge and the Test that is on the Flocabulary webpage.

The Trading Card section has been updated in the Web Quest from Thursday.  The trading card rubric is available.  Click Here for the rubric.

The Trading Cards

Using the information gathered from the Cell Organelle Research Worksheet, you will be creating your own set of cell trading cards.   I will place a supply of blank 3x5 index cards in the purple cubbies for you to use to complete your assignment.  


Your assignment is to make a “trading card” for each cell organelle (make one for each 
cell organelle on your Cell Organelle Research Worksheet handout). The trading card will must have a picture of the organelle on one side and information about it on the other. The side opposite of the picture should include:   
a. The name of your organelle. 
b. Where it is found. 
c. What it does. 
d. Something that performs the same function 
PLEASE NOTE:  The information that you use for the text part of your trading 
cards MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!  DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT just copy. If the text is NOT in your own words, you will get a zero for this  assignment.  Plagiarism (

Prezi Update
