Parts of the Brain Wiki - Psychology


 * Below is the rubric for this assignment. I had the students build the rubric on the board in my class using surveys. I picked the information that needed to be in the Wiki. After the rubric you will see some links to student developed examples.**

Here is the rubric for our brain wiki project. I took your results from the surveys to determine the point value for each part. Cell – Dendrites – Nucleus – Cell Body – Axon – Synapse – Myelin Sheath Brain – Hypothalamus – Hippocampus – Amygdala – Cerebrum – Cerebellum – Thalamus – Midbrain – Pons – Medulla Spinal Cord – Pituitary Gland – Cerebral Cortex – Corpus Callosum – Broca’s Area – Wernicke’s Area Lobes – Parietal – Occipital – Frontal – Temporal Sections – Forebrain – Midbrain - Hindbrain Finally, your Wiki should include other information you deem relevant.
