7th
Monday
Competency: Meiosis and Cell Division
Standard: Heredity and Genetics 7.3d(c) Mitosis/Meiosis, Structure of DNA/Karyotype. Heredity
and Genetics 7.3d(a) Sexual and asexual reproduction
Essential Question: Why do multicellular organisms perform meiosis?
Focus Question: Why do sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as body cells?
Anticipatory Set: TSW watch a 3-minute video on meiosis. TSW compare this video to the
mitosis video.
Bellringer: ACT Questions
Guided Practice: TTW compare via illustrations sister chromosome and sister chromatids to
model what is expected in today’s writing piece. TSW use this example as a guide when
explaining the two processes.
Independent Practice: TSW explain in a brief essay how meiosis and mitosis are different. TS
must list at least 8 comparisons in essay. TS must connect asexual and sexual reproduction as
well as advantages and disadvantages.
Teacher Input: TTW help the students make connections between the video and the
assignment.
Closure: TSW respond on an exit slip to the focus question.

Thursday
Competency: Bacteria
Standard: 8.3c Bacteria’s affect human body. 6.3c(c) common diseases caused by
microorganisms. WHST.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and
strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting or trying a new approach,
focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.
Essential Question: Why do bacteria reproduce by binary fission instead of mitosis?
Focus Question: How are the stages of binary fission different than mitosis?
Bellringer: ACT Questions
Anticipatory Set: TSW watch a video on binary fission.
Guided Practice: TTW use the video to model what is expected on their animation.
Independent Practice: TSW explore bacteria and binary fission by developing an animation.
TSW model the stages of binary fission in a comic strip. TSW act as if they are a bacteria cell
interacting with other bacteria cells.
Teacher Input: TTW walk around the class monitoring the students to make sure they are on
task and to manage time. TTW also ask and answer questions that will help guide the lesson.
Closure: TSW write down any questions they have about the process of binary fission. These
questions will be used to guide tomorrow’s anticipatory set.
Friday
Competency: Bacteria
Standard: 8.3c Bacteria’s affect human body. 6.3c(c) common diseases caused by
microorganisms. WHST.5 With some guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and
strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting or trying a new approach,
focusing on how well purpose and audience have been addressed.
Essential Question: Why do bacteria reproduce by binary fission instead of mitosis?
Focus Question: How are the stages of binary fission different than mitosis?
Bellringer: ACT Questions
Anticipatory Set: TTW respond to the questions the students wrote on the sticky notes at the
end of yesterday’s lesson.
ELA standards and matching activity are highlighted in yellow.
Independent Practice: TSW have 15 minutes to complete their comic strip. TSW exchanged
comic strips and modify that cartoon with suggests on a separate sheet of paper. TSW collect
their comic strip and make changes if necessary using peer suggestions.
Differentiations: TTW work closely with the ELL and IEP students helping them develop their
cartoon properly. TTW provide these students with samples.
Teacher Input: TTW respond to any questions the students have as it relates to writing
assignment.
Closure: What are the stages of binary fission? (exit slip)
