toc =Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role:You're an Oncologist, a doctor who is specialized in the study of tumors and cancer. Audience:You will be presenting your information to the patient, family members, and medical colleagues present. Situation:You are presently working at the local hospital in town, a place you have been employed for almost ten years. Product/Presentation: You will create a power point project that describes your medical game plan to defend against mutating cells. Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Power Point:Content, Organization, Enthusiasm, Preparation, Originality, Requirements. Presentation: Preparation, Content, Requirements, Speaks clearly, Time limit, Listens to other presentations. || •Lab Notebook - Students will be required to keep a separate notebook for lab work. Students will turn in this notebook at the end of every week to be graded, and will be given the opportunity to make corrections. At the end of the unit students will receive a final grade for the lab notebook they collaborated. •Final Exam - A cumulative exam will be given at the end of the unit. This exam will test students on the key ideas of cell theory, cell creation, and cellular interaction to form systems. A review session will be provided to students before this exam. || •Pre and Post survey - A test will be given before the start of the unit to get an idea of the knowledge students are bringing with them from previous courses. This test will not be graded, it will provide the teacher with areas to focus on during the unit. At the completion of the unit, the exact test will be given again to see how much of the targeted content was understood by students. The post test will receive no grade, it will be used for teaching purposes only. •KWL Chart - Students will be required to complete a "KWL" chart each week. At the start of the week students will state what they think know, and what they want to learn about cells. After the week of classes students will describe what they learned about cells. This will not be graded but used as a self-assessment tool for students. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * Goal:The task is to create a medical game plan appropriate for your patient which details the causes of mutating cells, and how they are controlled.
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * Other Evidence **(OE)** ||
 * •Quizzes - One quiz will be given each week to make sure students are understanding the important ideas presented in class. The lowest quiz score will be dropped at the end of the unit.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * Self-Assessment **(SA)** ||
 * •Blog - Each student will be required to submit a blog entry to the class blog account each week. Blog entry's must contain at least two links to other resources that can be used during class discussions of course material.

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * The task is to create a medical outline that details the causes of mutating cells and how they are controlled. You are an Oncologist, a doctor who is specialized in the study of tumors and cancer. You are presently the lead doctor at the Dana Farber hospital in Boston and will be presenting your information to the patient, family members, and medical colleagues present. You will be required to create a multimedia project (Power-Point) that describes cellular functions and interactions. This power point will contain your medical game-plan to defend against mutating cells in the human body. You will be give two grades; one for the product and one for the presentation. The standards you will be judged by are: Content, Organization, Preparation, Enthusiasm, Style, Originality, Requirements, Speaks clearly, Time limit. ||
