and thinking about a topic.
- Students will draw and describe the stages of mitosis.
- Students will write down their observations on a graph of cancer death rates and write
their conclusions.

Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will have a quick write on what the purpose of cell division is.
- The teacher will lecture on the stages of mitosis.
- The students will draw the stages of mitosis and describe what is happening in
each stage
- The students will complete a review worksheet
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
This will help the students know why and how cells divide and how this process can
lead to cancer.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
Students will write a summary of the article
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will look at a graph showing different rates of death from cancer.
They will write down their observations. They will then use the GOGOMO activity
(get one, give one, and move on).
- The teacher will then cold call and ask students what they observed from the
graph.
- The teacher will lecture on cancer.
- The students will perform a quick write and answer: how do you think we can
prevent cancer? What do you think would be a way to treat/cure cancer?
- The students will complete a review sheet on mitosis
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
This will help review students for their quiz next class.
Pre/work or bell ringer?
Study for quiz
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students will take a quiz on mitosis and the cell cycle.
- The students will complete a webquest on meiosis.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
This will introduce the topic of meiosis to the students.

Pre/work or bell ringer?
The students will take a quiz over the article they have been reading
Daily Activities (include reading and writing activities):
- The students perform a silent conversation. Each student will get a picture of a
different set of twins and write down their observations. They will have two
minutes and then pass it to the next person. After they have seen all of the pictures,
they will then write down their conclusions.
- The teacher will cold call on students and lead a discussion to introduce meiosis.
- The teacher will write vocab words on the board and students will fill out a
worksheet noting which words they know, think they know, or have no idea.
- The teacher will then lecture on meiosis
- The class will have a discussion about the twins in the silent discussion.
How will this lesson connect to the next day’s lesson?
This will get the students interested in the topic of meiosis for next class.
