Rationale: Students always want to know what the purpose of learning the material is. By answering their questions they will stay engaged in the material. Use of text: Developing concepts of the steps and what the purpose of mitosis helps put together the ideas that are being built Attachment: n/a Citation: Benham, D. (2001, October). // Mitosis review //. Retrieved from http://biology.nebrwesleyan.edu/benham/mitosis/ Text Summary: This site shows the cell in different phases of mitosis. Rationale: By constantly showing visuals, the material will be more easily remembered. Use of text: Visualizing the process more and more will allow the learners to make more connections. Attachment: n/a Citation: Decelles, P. (2002, August 15). // Mitosis //. Retrieved from http://staff.jccc.net/PDECELL/celldivision/mitosis1.html Text Summary: This example of text shows images and explains the process of mitosis very well. It has a complete display of the cell cycle. Rationale: At this point the components of the process have all been revealed. This site puts all the pieces together and now the students can begin to fully understand the entire process. Use of text: All the pieces are in place and each step needs a greater explanation. The steps have now been fully explained. Attachment: n/a Citation:pisgahscience, Initials. (Artist). (2009). // A great mitosis video //. [Web]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhgRhXl7w_g Text Summary: A good video that shows the motions and components that spread around and condense and separate in the different parts of the process. Rationale: This video paints the whole picture of each step in motion. Use of text: Showing the simple motions of how components work will make it easier to remember and understand each step. Attachment: n/a Citation: MsStokesBio, Initials. (Artist). (2007). // Mitosis //. [Web]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kpR5RSJ7SA Text Summary: Going beyond simply the process of mitosis, this video displays more in depth components and also how mitosis fits in as part of the cell's life cycle. Rationale: The structure and components are in place for the process and this video will give an in depth perspective of how the cell lives and divides. Use of text: Visual aid's are very important in displaying ideas in a manner that words alone can't. Several visuals have been given as examples and now this final in depth version has been used, displaying every part in motion and broken down. Attachment: n/a Citation: Davidson, M. (2004, February 04). // Mitosis //. Retrieved from http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/micro/gallery/mitosis/mitosis.html Text Summary: This page allows students to read facts about mitosis and then click on the pictures to find out more on each stage. Rationale: When a student has a question involving a specified step, then they will be able to just click and find out more. Use of text: Students can work alone or in groups. They will go online and find answers to their questions. They are also encouraged to access this site online if they have the home computer capability. Attachment: n/a Citation: Sullivan, J. (2006). // Animal cell mitosis //. Retrieved from http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm Text Summary: Using a different type of website, students can now watch in motion each step of the process of mitosis and stop, skip or fast forward to any portion. Rationale: This is just one of the many aspects that students will use to their advantage while grasping the material. It is simply another learning tool at their fingertips. Use of text: Putting the process on display one step at a time further breaks down the process of mitosis and can allow students to create more connections to the material. Attachment: n/a Citation: Ho, R. (1999, August 31). // Phases of mitosis //. Retrieved from http://www.eduref.org/Virtual/Lessons/Science/Biology/BIO0091.html Text Summary: This lesson plan infuses creative examples that will engage the class. The examples stand to be modified and may show some signs of aging, but are creative nonetheless. Rationale: This lesson plan puts a simple order to explaining the process of mitosis and allows room for modification where necessary. Use of text: This lesson plan is basically a skeleton that needs the muscles and flesh added to it. That makes it very easy to work with and bend around the needs of the class. Attachment: n/a Each text that is listed above is part of a whole. These items together provide substantial levels of examples that spell out every aspect of the process of mitosis. The written texts layout all the ideas and pieces of what is to be taught. The visual components show how all of these pieces are harmoniously one. Next the interactive components allow the class to answer any further questions that they may have in regards to the process. Finally, the lesson plan helps to organize the main points of the lesson while leaving room for adding ideas and necessary parts to the lesson. Overall, this covers all of the parts of this process and may even go on the the point of having too much material (excessive). That is the reason that there is no need to have additional attachments. However this material offers a vast explanation of the process and how it works. Being able to explain, draw and identify: 1. t he cell cycle and where mitosis fits in the cell cycle 2. the 4 main steps in mitosis and the sub-components of the steps of mitosis and also the sequence of steps involved on mitosis

 * Daniel Agnello -** Mitosis, My Favorite! I think you did a good job incorporating aspects of class such as activating prior knowledge, utilizing vocabulary, and engaging students to find personal relevance in your science lesson plan. I like the fact you found a teacher resource that is very broad. Now you aren't tied down to doing a specific classroom routine. Overall, I think you picked good texts, good videos, and great interactive websites. I am interested in seeing the lesson plan you create!
