Teacher Trouble

Your Anatomy teacher, Mrs. Funibonz, has been admitted to the hospital with heart palpitations and low blood volume! The doctors say they won't release her for many days. The substitute teacher knows very little about Human Anatomy, and tells the class that Mrs. Funibonz left a test for Chapter 12 & 13 to be given Friday 11/11/11 in her absence. Mrs. Funibonz also said that her Anatomy students are so smart, they can teach themselves!

You've organized yourselves into groups and have taken on a section of the information to teach the rest of your class. Your group will become an expert in your section and then help the rest of the class understand it. Decide how best to teach your peers: A Google Presentation, iMovie, hands-on lesson or manipulative activity are all possibilities. You must decide the most important concepts and vocabulary of the section to include in your 10-15 minute mini-lesson.


 * Each group will present on Wednesday 11/9 for a minimum of 10 minutes, maximum of 15 minutes.** **One group may present last 15 minutes of class Tuesday (for bonus points).** The rest of the class should be given a notes page or activity sheet to help them study for the test. Mrs. Funibonz will check up on you from her hospital rest bed via Google docs. Make a Google doc, share it with your group & Mrs. Funibonz. This is where you organize, plan your project, divide the work, make your notes handout, etc. Name it Lastname_Lastname_Lastname (etc.)_Title of Project (Also share the Google presentation, if you make one.) Movies will be exported as Quicktime and put in Hand in B.


 * The following days are work days with computers: 11/3, 11/7, 11/8 (same cart on the 7th and 8th) Computers will be put away 15 minutes before the end of class on 11/8. **

Each group will be given a grade for the mini-lesson by the teacher. Each group will be given a grade by the rest of the class. (These will be averaged then added) Each person in a group will be given a grade by the rest of their group. (These will be averaged then added) These three grades will be added together then multiplied by 10 for a total possible 150 points.
 * Grading - Scale of 1 - 5, 5 is highest**

This person did their fair share of work and contributed a lot to the overall mini-lesson. **4 -** All assigned material was presented but may have been somewhat confusing at times. Presentation was good, but they should have practiced a little more. Presenters knew the topic but Handouts were good tools in learning and studying. Everyone & everything was ready to go ahead of the due date/time. This person did a lot work but could have done more to contribute to the overall lesson. 3 - All assigned material was presented but was somewhat confusing at times. Presentation was just OK, and they should have practiced more. Presenters knew some things about the topic. Handouts were "OK" for learning and studying. Everyone & everything was ready to go at the due date/time. This person did some work but could have done more to contribute to the overall lesson. 2 - Not all assigned material was presented and what was presented was somewhat confusing. Presentation was borderline OK/poor, and they should have practiced more and been more prepared. Presenters knew little about the topic. Handouts were marginal for learning and studying. Everyone & everything was ready to go at the due date/time. This person did some work but **several things had to be completed by other group members.** 1 - They stood up there but were disorganized and unprepared. They said something but it was terribly confusing. This handout is useless. This person **did barely any work and everyone else had to compensate by doing more work.**
 * 5 -** Material was thoroughly presented in a way that made it easy to understand & learn. Presentation was excellent - they obviously practiced - and the presenters obviously knew all about this topic. Handouts and activities were excellent tools in learning and studying this section. Everyone & everything was ready to go ahead of the due date/time.
