10. The cell membrane is a thin , flexible barrier around the cell. Many cells also have a strong layer around the cell membrane known as the cell wall... Some cells also have a nucleus, a large structure that contains the cell’s genetic material and controls the cell’s activities. The material inside the cell’s membrane – but not including the nucleus – is called the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm contains many important structures. Pre-ccls SHIFT 3 Staircase of Complexity

11. Under the microscope, a cell looks a lot like a fried egg: It has a white (the cytoplasm) that’s full of water and proteins to keep it fed, and a yolk (the nucleus) that holds all the genetic information that makes you you. The cytoplasm buzzes like a New York City street. It’s crammed full of molecules and vessels endlessly shuttling enzymes and sugars from one part of the cell to another, pumping water, nutrients, and oxygen in and out of the cell. All the while, little cytoplasmic factories work 24/7, cranking out sugars, fats, proteins, and energy to keep the whole thing running and feed the nucleus – the brains of the operation.

12. Text-based answers SHIFT 4 Questions are purposefully planned & direct students to closely examine the text

Post-ccls SHIFT 4 Text-based Answers Question: Analyze the author’s similes to describe the cell. How does her language choice convey the function and structure of a cell? Use specific examples from the texts to support your answer.

18. SHIFT 5 Writing from Sources “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.” ~Elie Wiesel
