Biology I Honors Extra Credit Assignment (Drumm)

Design Your Own Organism Project

Information for Students: In order to score any points for this assignment, students must complete all sections. Total points given and added to the final Q3 grade will be dependent on the student’s grade on the project, as shown in the rubric below. Answers will be graded for accuracy and points will be deducted for any incorrect or incomplete answers.

NOTE: It is expected that students do their own work for this assignment. Any work that appears to be blatantly copied from a classmate’s work will void the score for that student’s assignment.

Grading Rubric

5 points-Overall score of 90-100% on project; all questions and sections completed



Timeline: All work is due no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, May 11, 2020. If work is not time-stamped before that time and date, no points will be awarded.

How to Submit: The project pages are in PDF format. There are several options for submission:

Choose the option below that works best for you.The easiest option: Open the PDF in Adobe, type in your answers, save a copy, and email to your teacher by the due

date. ([email protected])

Open the PDF, create a word document, clearly type out each question and the answer.

Print the PDF, neatly write in your answers to the questions, take a well-lit photo of your completed pages, email all pages to your teacher. (Note: If you are having trouble reading your work in your photo, your teacher will have trouble, too. Make sure your photo is in good light, and is easy to see. If you are an iPhone user, your “Notes” app has a Scan option that works well for this.)
