Process
To complete your tasks you will need to follow the process listed below.
Before beginning you need to draw a job (organelle) out of the box on my desk. This will tell you what(who) you are.
The first thing you need to do is start your research. You need to find out what you do for Cell Corp, as well as what each of your co-workers are doing for Cell Corp. You are welcome to use any of the sites I have listed below under Resouces, or find your own resources (these do not all need to be web resources, but at least half of them should be). If you are using references of your own, be sure to check their credibility.
Now that you know what you do for the Cell Corp. it is time for you to tell your boss, Mr. Nucleus, why you are so important. Here are a few things for you to think about while typing your letter:
* Tell what the name of your organelle is and where you are located.
* Identify any other organelles you work closely with, if there are any.
* Describe how you work with those coworkers.
* Describe your main functions as a Cell Organelle.
* Tell the corporation how you perform these functions.
* Tell the corporation why you are important and why they should not fire you.
* Explain what might happen to the Cell if they fired you.
On the Eval page you will find links to the required rubrics you need to follow for each project. You will also find some links to a few pages that will assist you with your tasks.
After completing your letter you may begin your tri-fold brouchure about your workplace and co-workers. To give you some help I have included a list of your fellow employees.
