Guidelines for writing the book!!

OK, so you haven't had window panes for a couple of weeks now and the semester is wrapping up, you should have some time and energy to complete a make-up assignment to improve your grade!

Here are some guide lines for the Book project;
1. It must be 10 pages of content- that means illustrations with full sentences describing what is happening.
2. 2 pages of the 10 are your cover pages. This should be the easy part.
3. The Cover page needs to have your title, an illustration (drawing) , your name and your class on it!
4. The content you are covering in your book should be the same content you are trying to replace a grade for. Ex. If you did poorly on your mitosis test, your book should be about a cell going through mitosis or meiosis.
5. Your content must be represented in a logical way and should not be difficult for even a middle school student to understand. I don't need big scientific words, you may have to use some, but I'd prefer you simplify the process.
6. Label drawings or provide thought bubbles for your characters wherever you see fit. This information is considered Content!!!!
7. Be Creative- Try to create a main character that acts as a narrator and tells the story of protein synthesis, mitosis, meiosis, heredity or whatever topic you are missing!

Hand it in to me by Tuesday!!! 4/27/10


**Don't forget that you can definitely still do documentary write ups for extra credit! 10 points for every 2 hours. USe the Nova site and you can watch the documentaries any time (plus they are condensed so 50 minutes is = to a 2 hour tv documentary!!)


Good luck to everyone- Benchmark is next Tuesday!!
