Continue working on your Body Systems Project!

When complete, upload your final project and turn it in here--due on Thursday!

**I will keep you updated on our presentation day. You will share your projects with each other in small breakout rooms.

On Thursday we will have a short Zoom class to begin presentations. I know you have Ms. McCullagh at 1pm, but I want you to start sharing your projects!

Remember, you should spend no more than 5 minutes sharing your project! YOU are teaching your classmates about the body system, so give them an overview of the body system you studied--what is most important? Most interesting?

We will be sharing projects in breakout rooms-- I am hoping 3 to 4 people will be able to share in each room tomorrow. The rest of you will share on Monday!

Projects should be submitted prior to the beginning of the Zoom Class. Everyone should be prepared to present! I will be choosing the presenters for tomorrow.
