zombie+menu

You are operating a cafe for zombies. We will be operating under the totally unscientific premises that 1. zombie exist and 2. you are what you eat. This is a creative project. The goal is to demonstrate understanding of the parts of the brain and to do so creatively. This is way better than taking a test about parts of the brain!!!!

But it isn't enough to just feast on brains, sometimes you really want to tuck into some fine cuisine. So this assignment is to find a partner or two (remember that you can never be partners with them again) to create a menu of brain parts that would particularly appeal to the zombie palate and demonstrate your understanding of the human brain.

Each delicious dish will contain basic ingredients (this isn't a cookbook) to tempt zombie diners and an explanation of how feasting upon this part of the brain will impact the diner. Yes, if the brain part is small, you can harvest many of them for your dish.

You must include a minimum of 10 brain parts in your 8 dishes. Please select from your 3D Brain App. Lobes do not count as brain parts, they are the cerebral cortex.

You must draw and label your brain diagram, you may not use clip art.

You must have a wide range of appetizers, entrees, and desserts for your zombie clients. Hey, you want to be on Top Chef Zombie Edition, right?

Parts of the brain that you must include in your brain diagram to lure in the Zombie clients:
 * Cerebral Cortex (please label all the lobes)
 * Hypothalamus
 * Thalamus
 * Reticular Formation
 * Pons
 * Medulla
 * Brainstem/spinal cord
 * Amygdala
 * Corpus Callosum
 * Pituitary Gland
 * Hippocampus
 * Broca's Area and Wernicke's if you have a Left hemisphere on your hands.

Your rubric for being graded: Creativity: 15% (the dishes should be interesting, and must relate in some way to the brain part) Demonstration of understanding: 70% (each part must include accurate location and function) Appearance of menu: 15% (organization, aesthetics)
