CANCER RESEARCH SUTORI 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.

This is an individual or partner project. If you are working as partners

YOU MUST SEE ME so that I can add collaborators to your account for the
project. Please remember that you are choosing your own partner and
that you will both receive the same grade. Choose wisely!

Due date: ___________________________________________

Point value: 100 points and will count as a test grade

Delivery method: The Sutori must be published and ready for

grading on the due date listed above.

Expectations: The Sutori can be accessed from anywhere and any

device that can connect to WiFi including computers and phones. It
is expected that the project be completed in the time allotted and
ready for grading when it is due. Please make sure that the
following information is included to ensure that full credit is given
for each section. You will be required to insert graphics and digital
components to the Sutori being that it is a digital project.

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.
