DIRECTIONS FOR TURNING IN YOUR CELL ANALOGIES (ORGANELLE) PROJECTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------
BIOLOGY / HONORS BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. To turn in your Cell Analogies project, make sure it is on Google Drive in your biology turn-in folder first. If you have your presentation saved as a file on your computer then you will need to log in to Google Drive and upload your file.
2. Make sure you have set the "share" permissions on your file to "anyone who has the link."
3. Next create a post on your Story of the Seed website into which you paste the same link as above. Title your post with your FULL name (and your partner's too) and the phrase "Cell Analogies Project" (see my example below).

EXAMPLE TITLE: Cell Analogies Project of Justin Bursch

Email me at jsbursch@gmail.com if you need help. I will be checking my email until 9:00 p.m. nightly.
