A Stack About A System

For this assignment, you will create a multimedia stack about a system in the human body. This assignment should help you to learn more about the body, and then to organize what you know in such a way that it can be effectively presented to others. Please begin by listing what you already know about your system (from class discussions and other learning opportunities). Then, decide on what you still need to learn to complete this assignment. Use A.D.A.M., your health book, encyclopedias, and other reference materials to acquire the information you need. The next thing you need to do is organize your stack. Create a hand drawn blueprint for your stack. On this blueprint, show where each question will be answered. Also show where the technical criteria will be included. Be creative with this stack. Design it using as many interesting ideas as possible. When all of your planning has been completed, you are are ready to create your stack!
