Submit tracker and evidence
Your immune portfolio holds a lymphatic diagram, a modeling lab, and a data CER. Do those three pieces actually tell one connected story, or are they three separate assignments sitting in a folder?
Students will submit their immune-system evidence and update the unit tracker.
- • All artifacts are submitted and tracker updated.
- • Reflection names one mastered concept and one to revisit.
- Name the three pieces of evidence in your immune portfolio. What does each one show?
- Finishing an assignment and understanding it are not the same. What is one immune concept you could actually explain to a classmate right now?
- 1Compile your lymphatic diagram, model notes, and CER.
- 2Check each artifact against the rubric.
- 3Upload all evidence to the submission folder.
- 4Update the progress tracker.
- 5Reflect on one immune concept you can now explain.

💡 Big idea: A complete portfolio can hide gaps, so checking each artifact against a rubric and explaining one concept in your own words is what turns task completion into proof of genuine understanding.
- 0-10Retrieve all week's artifacts: lymphatic diagram, model notes, CER
- 10-28Self-check each artifact against the rubric checklist
- 28-45Fill any gaps and upload complete evidence package to Schoology
- 45-58Update progress tracker with completion status for each item
- 58-70Write reflection: one immune concept you can now explain, one to revisit

- • This week you debated mandates, mapped the immune system, built a molecular model, and wrote a data-driven CER.
- • Today you compile all of that work into a complete submission.
- • Check every artifact against the rubric before uploading; small gaps are easy to fix now.
- • Your reflection on what you can now explain is your clearest signal of what has actually stuck.
- • The immune portfolio spans lymphatic , - modeling, and CER data analysis.
- • Self-checking against a rubric mirrors quality-assurance practices in biomedical laboratories.
- • Articulating one concept you can now explain is evidence of genuine learning, not just task completion.

Do this: Log in to myPLTW and confirm all Lesson 3.2 Body Guards tasks for this week are marked complete before packaging your immune-system evidence.
Every item for this unit week is checked off; screenshot your completed progress bar.
All tasks from Mon to Thu in Lesson 3.2 should be complete by today.

Students often think Students often think turning in all the artifacts is the same as understanding the unit.. The trap: That is the trap: a full folder can hide gaps. The point of checking each piece against the rubric is to catch the spot where you followed the steps but could not explain the why. Task completion is not evidence of learning; being able to explain a concept is.
I checked each artifact against the rubric before uploading and marked it on the tracker. My portfolio moves from anatomy (lymphatic diagram) to mechanism (antigen-antibody model notes) to data analysis (CER).
Reflection:
- One concept I can now explain: why a vaccine works. It trains memory B cells so a real infection later meets a fast, strong response.
- One concept to revisit before the WebXam: the specific roles of B cells versus T cells, which I still blur together.
| Evidence piece | Status | Rubric check |
|---|---|---|
| Lymphatic diagram + vocab | Submitted | Nodes labeled, terms defined |
| Model notes (antigen-antibody) | Submitted | Specific matching shown |
| Vaccine CER | Submitted | Claim, 2 data points, reasoning |
Also due today: Submit your tracker and reflection to the Schoology assignment for HBS Immune Week Wrap-Up.
- CER:

Tap the speaker to hear a term. Add two of these to your notebook glossary with a definition and an example in your own words.
Pick just 2 or 3 words from today and make them yours: write what each one means in your own words, then give one example from what you actually did in Submit tracker and evidence. Try your own words first; the glossary is there if you get stuck. This is voluntary and counts as extra credit, so keep it short.

A classmate says, 'I uploaded all three artifacts, so I understand the immune system.' Using this unit's logic, is finishing the same as understanding? What would actually prove understanding?
