Part 1: First Duties

Receive your assignment and team.

 

Part 2: Gather Your Facts 

 

To complete your poster (and find your suspect!), you will need to know the following:

 

 

CRIME: What has this organelle done? Why is this organelle "wanted"? In other words, what does it do for the cell?  Or, what is the organelle’s function?

 

 

 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: What does the organelle look like? Provide a description and an actual picture.  The picture can be a mug shot (printed picture) or a sketch from a sketch artist (hand-drawn).

​

AFFIDAVIT OF CRIME: An explanation that details how the structure of the organelle is related to its function.

 

 

LOCATION: Where should we look for the organelle? Which type of cell is this organelle found in?  Make sure that you have explored plants and animal cells. 

​

​

​

 ACCOMPLICES: In other words, which other organelles/structures help your organelle do its job?

 

Part 3: The Roundup 

 

Share the information you have discovered by completing two wanted posters (one digital and one physical). The posters should include, but are not limited to:

 

1. A picture of your organelle/structure (drawn or taken from a web site or book, citing your source)

2. Answers (in your own words!) to all 5 items in part 2

3. Three resources cited (just the name of the book or website link is fine this time) on the back of your poster

4. You are encouraged to be creative – decorate your poster, make it look old. For ideas or help in making your wanted poster visit the following website (http://www.glassgiant.com/wanted/ ). Remember the more effort and creative your poster is the better chance of getting full credit. 

5. All elements must fit on a 12x18 piece of construction paper. If you are in charge of the digital work, make sure you change the paper settings.
