The Rally (Presentation):
1. All group members will need to participate equally. This means that each member will need to speak
intelligently about their organelle, and each member will need to promote various media.
2. The “rally” or presentation should be OVER THE TOP!
3. Students will receive bonus points for dressing-up, and dressing similarly (to show union for their
organelle).
4. Creativity will be graded by extra credit, the crazier, sillier, and yet relevant your presentation, THE
BETTER!
5. At the end of the rally students will vote for their “chosen” organelle. The group which “wins” will
receive candy!
