Reproduction+(Desi)

=Digital Academy: Final Project =
 * Part 1: Project Summary **

In this lesson the students will learn about the reproductive systems. They students will learn that the reproductive system is the body system containing organs that make the production of offspring possible. The students will learn that during puberty the male reproductive system begin to produce the male sex cell, sperm. Sperm are stored in the epididymis, tubes located behind the testes. The sperm will cells mix with fluids from the prostate gland and the seminal vesicles to form semen. Students will also learn that the female reproductive system has 3 key functions. The first is to store egg cells or ovum. The second is to create offspring, or babies. When the male’s cell joins with the female egg cell, this is a process called fertilization. Fertilization takes place inside one of the 2 fallopian tubes. The third function is to give birth to the baby. Ovulation is the release of one mature egg cell from one of the 2 ovaries. If no egg is fertilized, the unfertilized egg, and some blood flow out of the body. The menstrual cycle results from hormonal changes that occur in the females from the beginning of one menstruation to the next. The students will have the option of showing the path of sperm, the process of ovulation and menstruation, or fertilization to the birth of a baby. The students will use Photo Story to show stills of each part of the process.


 * Content **

Standards that will be assessed during this project will be Health Education Standard 3.8.2. With this standard student’s will be responsible for accessing valid health information from home, school and community. Along with this standard is standard 3.8.1, in which the students will be responsible for analyze the validity of the health information, products and services.

The students will be able to take the information learned and use the information to teach other students the processes of the reproduction system in story form.


 * Pedagogy **


 * The students will use various styles of sequencing to illustrate the processes of ovulation, the path of sperm, and fertilization (conception) to delivery. ** When doing this activity, they will need to type out important events from the selected reproductive system process on a sheet of paper. Use photographs of each stage in the process and place them into a slideshow.


 * Technology **

The technology that the students will use Microsoft Photo story 3. They will use digital photo’s using the Elmo projection or photos taken from various web sites.


 * Part 2: Timeline **

Define your project timeline with implementation and next steps.


 * Part 3: Assessment **

The storyboard illustrates the video presentation structure with thumbnail sketches of each photo. Notes of proposed transition, special effects, sound and title tracks include: text, background color, placement & size of graphic, fonts - color, size, type for text and headings. Notes about proposed dialogue/narration text are included. All photos are numbered, and there is a logical sequence to the presentation. The storyboard includes thumbnail sketches of each video scene and includes text for each segment of the presentation, descriptions of background audio for each scene, and notes about proposed shots and dialogue. All sketches are organized and numbered in a logical sequence. The photos on the storyboard are not in a logical sequence and do not provide complete descriptions of the video scenes, audio background, or notes about the dialogue. There is no evidence of a storyboard
