11/15

Students have been taking their time and really getting a clear understanding of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  This can be a challenging section though students are impressing me with their enthusiasm for the processes. Students have started a writing assignment ( Fantasy Island), where they are incorporating their own creative spin on the processes. I have essentially given each student a barren island and they need to identify the organisms (plants and animals) that co exist on the island.  Additionally, students will be explaining how the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are used on the island and how important they are.
The "fantasy island paper" needs to be typed and at least 3 paragraphs.  Students have the option of either printing out their paper or sharing it with me on Google.  The rough draft is due on Monday and the final draft will be due on Tuesday.  I am really looking forward to reading these papers!
