You will write a traditional story book, Instagram Story, OR comic strip in which you describe the process of the Cell Cycle in an animal OR a plant cell. Your storys theme must be based on one of the main goals of cell division (growth or tissue repair). You may work independently or in groups of up to 3 students to complete this assignment.
