Cancer Project
Cancer Project
This unit project focuses on what happens when cells do not function
correctly. Many people are affected by cancer; you may even have some
family members or friends that have or have had cancer. I suggest that you
choose a cancer that affects someone you know or intrigues you because it is
interesting. The goal is to research the cancer and orally present
information and recent research through making a Sutori (Digital Poster)
The Sutori should be an advertisement for a current treatment or way to
avoid getting that cancer (i.e., not smoking). Be creative and make it
visually appealing.
Please see the rubric on the back of this page for the required
components of the project. This rubric will be used to grade your
completed projects.
