**Grade Level: 9-Diploma Topic: Role of the Teacher**
organ systems in the human body rely on processes and functioning at the cellular level. || display oral communication skills by teaching the class about a specific cellular process. || assume the role of the teacher and explain one specific aspect of cellular interaction. ||
 * =**Objectives**:= ||
 * Student will understand that
 * Student will know how to
 * Student will be able to

E3. Cells Grade 9-Diploma Cells Students describe structure and function of cells at the intracellular and molecular level including differentiation to form systems, interactions between cells and their environment, and the impact of cellular processes and changes on individuals. d. Describe ways in which cells can malfunction and put an organism at risk. //
 * =**Maine Learning Results Alignment**= ||
 * // Maine //// Learning Results: Science and Technology - E. The Living Environment.
 * Rationale: ** Students will be required to display a complete understanding of the entire unit during this lesson. They will first get the opportunity to explain one idea of cellular organization and interaction to the class, and then must prove their understanding by completing a cumulative exam for the unit. This exam will include all organelle structures, how they interact, and that functioning at the cellular level allows cells to work together to form a network of systems. ||

Students will be assuming the role of a teacher and explaining a specific cellular process to the class. They will use a step chart to help organize their ideas and develop questions to put on the wiki space about their chosen cellular interaction. Developed questions must be submitted for approval before they can be posted on the wiki. Students will also be required to complete the WebQuest I have assigned, they will do this in pairs during allotted class time. || Students will be required to answer the questions that their fellow classmates have developed and placed on the class wiki. These questions will be reviewed by me and then returned to students so they may make improvements and resubmit their answer for final scoring. Following a review session, I will give students an exam covering information over the past six lessons. This exam will provide me with another way to judge student understanding. ||
 * =Assessment= ||
 * **Formative** (Assessment for Learning)
 * **Summative** (Assessment of Learning)

= =
 * =**Integration**= ||
 * ** Type II Technology: ** Students will be creating questions and posting them on the class wiki page for other to answer. They will also be completing a WebQuest assignment in pairs.
 * English ** : Students will need to use correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar when they create their questions to post on the wiki space. ||


 * =**Groupings**= ||
 * Students will be working in pairs during class to complete the WebQuest project I assigned. I will group students together by height. I will have all students align themselves from shortest to tallest, and then have pair students up from opposite sides. (Tallest with the shortest ect.) ||

I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Students will be informed that some of the lessons in this unit contain sensitive subject matter. If students do not wish to participate in any given activity, which involves said subject matter, they may inform me and I will supply them with an appropriate alternative to the activity. **Absent Students:** All students who either; have a written excuse, or discussed their absence with me prior to class will be given the opportunity to make-up missed class work without any penalty. Any student absence that is not excused will receive a deduction in their class participation, but the student is expected and will be required to know the material they missed. Missed class work and ideas can be found from fellow classmates, the class wiki, online blog entries, or contract me via email and I will gladly set-up a time to meet with any student. All late assignments are gladly accepted, but late work due to unexcused absences will receive a deduction for each day the work is late. || Type two technology will be incorporated twice during this lesson; students will be required to answer each others questions that were posted on the wiki space, and students will be working in pairs to complete a WebQuest during class. ||
 * =Differentiated Instruction= ||
 * **Strategies**
 * Visual ** : A short video displaying animations of cellular interaction will be shown to students.
 * Kinesthetic**: Students will be assuming the role of a teacher and have to direct a class for a short time period, this will require effective physical skills.
 * Naturalistic**: Compare the natural patterns seen in nature with the routine cellular interactions that occur which allow for system f functioning.
 * Interpersonal**: Students will be interacting with a classroom of students using effective communication skills.
 * Intrapersonal**: All answers posted on the wikispace should be done individually, allowing for students to make sense of new ideas.
 * Verbal**: Students will be communicating to their peers, effective oral skills will be necessary. ||
 * **Modifications/Accommodations**
 * **Extensions**
