= Cell Cycle Animation Video =

I chose to develop a project for my 7th grade science students about the cell cycle (mitosis including cytokinesis). I have developed a PB Works page to direct the students to several interactive websites about the cell cycle where they will take notes for their project later. They will be creating the steps of the cell cycle using various art supplies and then capturing images of these steps with a digital camera and iStopMotion software to create an animation video. They will also record an audio track using GarageBand that explains the steps of the cell cycle. Then, this animation and the audio track will be uploaded to iMovie where the students will edit the video and create slides and/or add effects to their videos. When completed, the students will upload their videos to their class group in http://www.edmodo.com/. These videos will be shared with their peers where they will assess themselves and each other.

Student samples:
====The samples below were assessed using the rubrics above. I developed a majority of the rubric and shared this with the students when they started this assignment. As we continued with the project, the students developed a portion of the rubric. I took and complied all of the things that they thought were important and put them together in the "Peer developed rubric." As we watched the videos, the students assessed themselves and each other which was 10% of their grade.====
