Read the Cnidaria section of these notes
Read the  Cnidaria notes on these  slides

ASSIGNMENT 4 
Choice A:  Write a script of a reality TV show.   What does a Cnidaria do all day?  There are three main Cnidarians:  Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa and Anthozoa.  Interview one example of each type of Cnidarian like you would for a crazy reality TV show script.  Include the major points in the Cnidaria notes and Cnidaria intro video. Come up with a really really good title that'll make someone want to watch your show!

Choice B: HOCKEY CARD ASSIGNMENT: Imagine that a class of Cnidaria is like a hockey team.
Create three hockey cards each representing  one team member : one hydrozoan, one scyphozoan and one anthozoan.
write the stats on your three cnidaria and a picture.  You may draw the cnidarian or upload a pic.  Use all the key words and major points from the Cnidaria notes and Cnidaria intro video.

Assignment 4 criteria
20 - your project really stands out for excellence
18-19 - your project includes the details in the Intro video,  these notes and these  slides.  It is creative and shows that thought was put into the final product.  It is well put together (if it is a drawing, it is in ink and colour).   If it is writing, it is well written

15-17. This is a really great concept and you include most of the details on Cnidarians in the notes and slides.  You do very impressive work.  If it is a drawing, it is well done, but not in ink or colour.  If it is written, there are minor spelling and grammatical errors but it is still very engaging to read

11-13. This is a great start to a great project.  It includes the main points but maybe it is not covered in depth.  You probably should have spent a little more time on this before handing it in.

5-10. This project is a good start but it was incomplete. 



ASSIGNMENT 5 
Watch the Shape of Life video on Cnidaria.
https://www.shapeoflife.org/video/cnidarians-life-move

This video gives an evolutionary context for Cnidaria.
Cnidaria were the first animal to develop a mouth, stomach, muscles and nerves.  They also developed the ability to stun prey.  Further, they developed the ability to swim.  


USING THE KEY IDEAS AND Key words in the video,  create an ANALOGY of a cnidarian.   
Choice A: You can write your analogy in form of a one page scary story, or a one page children's story or fairy tale

Choice B: Or you can draw your analogy and explain how your cnidarian is kind of like a...something...
