How do you feel about your understanding of the organelles so far?
Confident - I know most/all of them!
So-so - I know many of them, but have more to go.
Not great - I have to practice more and have some questions.
How does your learning in this unit connect with your understanding about yourself? (Your-cell-f)
I think it's cool that this is what I'm made of!
I think it's creepy that this is what I'm made of.
I don't really think about how this connects to myself.
I like thinking about it, but it's hard to picture.
