Work out in detail the various cells of our immune system, that are part of the arsenal of immune response.

The origin of cells of specific and non-specific immune response is represented in this media modul as an detailed overview. Inform yourself about the great diversity of the white blood cells and the types of leucocytes that are part of non-specific and specific immune response.

Your task:
Form expert groups in the class for each cell type (such as granulocytes group, macrophages group, group of B-lymphocytes and group of T-lymphocytes). Discuss the development, the structure and the function of each cell type in each group.
 
Document your results:
Each group then sends an expert to the next group, and there reports the results of the own group. Each group documents its results on a large sheet of paper. All results are compiled at the end on a  classroom poster. Present and discuss your results on a whiteboard or beamer as well.      
 
Work together across classroom borders
Document your results using the open source tool "padlet".  There you are able to post your results on some kind of "paper wall" across your classroom borders.
