The document describes a dance competition where students will be divided into groups to choreograph and perform dances illustrating either mitosis or meiosis. The dances will be video recorded and uploaded online for peer and teacher evaluation based on accurately portraying the sequence and phases of cell division, smooth phase shifting, clear expression of concepts through movements, and creative use of props and choreography.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?! All of you are participating in the dance competition So you think you can dance. The theme of the competition is Mitosis/Meiosis. The objective of the competition is to perform a chromosomal dance that illustrates the major DNA events during mitosis/meiosis. The class has been divided into 4 groups (2 groups of mitosis, 2 groups of meiosis). Each group will do a video-recording of the chromosomal dance during the cell division. Rules of competition: 1) Each group may use any kind of props which will aid in the dance to illustrate the sequence, movements and phase shifting of the processes (e.g wearing bandanas of different colours to differentiate male and female chromosomes). 2) The dance steps of the chromosomes must relate and illustrate important characteristics about mitosis/meiosis (such as the stages, chromosomal separation, homologous chromosome, cell division) 3) Since it is a dance, music is essential! Every member in each group MUST participate and perform in the dance. 4) Upload the video onto pbwiki.
5) You will be judged by your peers and teacher. They will comment on the dance video based on the criteria stated in the table below in the pbwiki. 6) The final marks will be decided by peer evaluation(30%) and teacher (70%). 7) To get some ideas on how to choreograph the dance, you make refer to URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ShF9ujNZw
