This isn't homework, but I wanted the students to know what I was looking for in this project.
6/7 Health Nutrients Project
You are to research your assigned nutrient, discovering what it does to make a body healthy, how it works, and what foods you can eat to get the nutrient into your system.
Using this information, you are to create a superhero character (example: Mr. Molybdenum Marvel). You will draw in full-colour your superhero, and then create a story in which your superhero saves the day, similar to Osmosis Jones and Drix saving Frank from a virus.
I want you to use a graphic organizer like the Shape Go Map or a mind map to organize your story. Then, you are to write a story, using such features like characters, setting, conflict and plot.
You will be marked on:
1) the accuracy of your research,
2) your artwork,
3) your graphic organizer,
4) the story itself, and
5) the presentation of your project.
This will be an in-class project, except if students need extra time at home to complete.
