This lesson plan was made as a summative assessment after reading the American novel, Of Mice and Men. It is essential that students have read the novel and have access to either an iPhone, iPad, or Mac Computer for completion of this project via the Pages App. Students are often disappointed and frustrated with the ending of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, feeling that there are many other solutions to the problems of the characters. They are not alone; thousands of readers have also pled the same case. Well now, they have their chance to rewrite the ending and give George and Lennie the resolutions they think they deserve. For this assignment, they are to rewrite the final chapter using the Pages App via iPhone or iPad. "… of Mice And Men …" by bjornmeansbear is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

This activity helps students identify the amazing adaptations that animals have.
In this lesson, students will research the physical characteristics, adaptations, and habitat of an animal and share their findings through a question-and-answer (interview) session with the animal that will be presented using a PowerPoint presentation. Following their research, students will write a script they will use to narrate their presentation. Images, text, animation/transition of slides will be evaluated along with the content and the writing mechanics. This is a face-to-face format but could be virtual/distance learning.

Nerve impulses occur when the electrical charge across a neuron cell membrane reverses. Nerve impulse is also referred to as "action potential" and involves the reversal and restoring of charges across a neuron cell membrane.
Neurons are one kind of nerve cell that transmit signals throughout the body.
The brain has three main parts-- the brain stem, the cerebellum, and the cerebrum. Let's start with the brain stem. It consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. Located just above the brainstem are the thalamus and hypothalamus.
When you respond involuntarily to a hot object, a reflex arc begins when sensory neurons in your hand detect pain. Sensory neurons then carry information in the form of a nerve impulse to the spinal cord.
The backbone encases the spinal cord, a bundle of nerves that play a key role in the central nervous system.
