Daphne High School ACOS General Biology Project This sheet must remain in the front of your project binder. In effort to help you succeed in passing the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE), you will be completing this project. The science portion of the AHSGE has 90 multiple choice questions. Your completed project will be an effective tool to use as a study guide when preparing to take the AHSGE. If done properly this project will be a concise summery of what you learn throughout the Biology course. You will do these during class. If you miss class you will be required to do them at home as makeup work. The Assignment: You will use one sheet of blank white paper for each identified objective. There are a total of 54 objective items. Label each page of the project with the number of the objective in the upper right hand corner corresponding to the number of the objective. Across the top of each page you will write the words of the objective and enhance the sentence in some way, such as bright color, highlight, or underline. In the main part of the page describe the objective using words, drawings, graphs, and or charts, be brief but concise and descriptive. Define all underlined words. Use no more than one page per objective. Keep all project items in a 1 inch 3 ring binder that will be held in the classroom. The binders may be checked out to take home if requested. This project binder will be graded four (4) times throughout the course. Grading: Detail 25 Penmanship, presentation 20 Organization 10 Effort 30 Correctness 15 (Extra credit may be given for knowing concepts.)
