Living Large Project deadlines - 2004  Recommended and Required Deadlines for Living Large Project: Friday 2/6 - RECOMMENDED Have your organelle's size and your plan to build it approved by me.

Monday, 2/16 - REQUIRED SET UP your organelle by the start of class so you are ready to listen to presentations. Plasma Membrane Group will PRESENT oral presentations to the class. TAKE DOWN your organelle and move it to the storage room. Wednesday, 2/18 - REQUIRED SET UP your organelle by the start of class so you are ready to listen to presentations. Cytoplasm Group will PRESENT oral presentations to the class. TAKE DOWN your organelle and move it to the storage room. Friday, 2/20 - REQUIRED SET UP your organelle by the start of class so you are ready to listen to presentations. Nucleus Group will PRESENT oral presentations to the class. PLAY your part as we bring our cell to life. TAKE DOWN your organelle and move it to the storage room for display in the Science Center or to your room for display there. HAND IN  Report of answers to questions 1-14. Monday 2/23 - REQUIRED HAND IN answers to questions 15 and 16 (the two questions about the performance).   Living Large Project assignments Organelles are taken if players are included for them.  IF YOU ARE NOT ON THIS LIST, YOUR ROLE HAS NOT BEEN  OFFICIALLY SET.  All official role assignments are posted on this list. To be assigned a role: 1. Assemble a group of three players for all organelles (except proteasomes, second messengers, and SER which get two players each). 2. Pick some roles you'd like to play. 3.HAND ME a paper with the names of your complete group and the roles you'd like, OR 3. EMAIL me a list of the members of your complete group and the roles you'd like. 4. I will post your names on this sheet to show your role is officially assigned.
