Your group will design its own infomercial for a product of your choice. The product may already exist or you may invent your own. The infomercial and product must be rated for television, so keep it clean! This assignment is an opportunity for you to practice your terminology so you will remember it better. Therefore the infomercial must contain at least 25 terminology words. These words may already exist or you may combine your own prefixes, word roots and suffixes to make up your own words. You can also use body regions, body planes, body structures etc… Additionally, you should follow these rules:
Presentation is 8-12 minutes. You will be penalized if you go under 8 minutes or over 12 minutes (even by 1 second!) - television time is precious and adhered to strictly – the tv station would cut you off.
Your group must type the final script and hand it in before your presentation. Each terminology term should be in bold and underlined.
You must memorize your parts – you may not have your script in front of you.
A group member may hold up cue cards ‘off camera’ but they must also participate on camera
Everyone must participate!
You should accentuate each term when you use it in your skit.
Optional – you may videotape it ahead of time **
You should be excited about your product – I should wonder how I ever lived without it!
** = I have higher expectations for pre-taped versions!
Due: Monday, 9/29/08
Download and install the Mnemosyne program and start entering cards using the sheet of prefixes. You can find a link to the program on my ‘Helpful Resources‘ page.
You should also read, “Cramming Doesn’t Work,” also found on that page.
Read the two articles on my homepage: The World Needs Thinkers and A Different Approach. Write down the main ideas of these writings and be prepared to discuss them in class.
Find the link to the syllabus on your main class page (ie. anatomy, biology, etc…) Open the syllabus PDF file and read it. You may choose to print it at home and put it in your notebook. You must print out the last page (contract) and fill in the appropriate information and signatures and return it to me no later than Wednesday, September 10.
Welcome to a new school year! We will be using various resources throughout the year and you will find links and other information on on my website: www.docfleetwood.net
I am looking forward to a great year!

There will be a test on Monday, 5/19/08 on the following material:
Nervous system: general information, how neurons work, brain and spinal cord = everything in the supplied notes up to ‘PNS’
Muscular system: in class notes on how a muscle contracts, energy supply, exercise, atrophy, muscle testing, and muscle grading (0-5). You must also be able to identify muscles on a picture and know the origin/insertion/action/innervation information from the handout.
Skin: notes and handouts on the skin layers, skin receptors, skin colors, fingerprints, and items found in the skin (ie. sweat glands, arrector pili muscle etc…)
Scientists have published findings in the Journal of Medical Genetics that suggest they have found genes on chromosome 4 that may be related to your musical abilities. These abilities may also be related to language. Read more at this World Science article.
