__**Teacher/Educator Project Information**__

__Overview__ - The whole reason for having the students do this project will be for them to look at all the different functions of the cellular organelles and to have them pick out the specific functions that they feel will help to show why the organelles that they choose or were assigned are the best candidate for most valuable organelle. The videos that I created as examples were not done to the highest degree possible, because I want the students to come up with ideas on their own. I do not want them to try to pattern their work after mine, rather be original in their designs.

__NY State Standards__ - Key Idea 1, Performance Indicator 1.2 - Describe and explain the structure and functions of the human body at different organizational levels (e.g. systems, tissues, cells, organelles). Major Understandings 1.2f) Cells have particular structures that perform specific jobs. These structures perform the actual work of the cell. Just as systems are coordinated and work together, cell parts must also be coordinated and work together. ([])

__Goals__ - The goal of this project will be for the students to create two different videos that illustrate their in-depth knowledge of at least two specific organelles.

__Objectives__ - Students will be able to produce two different videos that are between 45 seconds and 1 minute and 15 seconds long. Students will be able to describe various functions of the organelles in order to tell the audience why their specific organelle is the most important. Students will be able to determine what aspects of the example videos they feel is important. Students will be able to identify the minor mistakes that were made in my example videos and not repeat those errors in their own videos.

__Assessment__ - The students will be graded using a rubric that will be given to them at the beginning of the project and they will know what components they muct fulfill in order to achieve a certain grade. This rubric will feature all aspects of a multimedia presentation as well as it will be graded on content. The students should be able to demonstrate competency with the movie creation aspect of the project as well as demonstrate their knowledge of the content.

__Timeline__ - The timeline for this project will last over the duration of the unit on organelles. It would be anticipated that the unit would take about 3 weeks. This would be assigned after a few days of intro material and would be due at the end of the unit.

__Operational Logistics__ - as stated previously above, this project would take place over the timeframe of the organelle unit. It would be possible to schedule a couple of time slots in the computer labs in order to show the students how to use iMovie and what things I would be expecting of them.
