There are a lot of worksheets that can be found online for the anatomy of the brain, I have included some below that is a fill in the blank, I have also included a vocabulary sheet, for this section I think it is helpful and important as these are terms that will come up again as students learn more in-depth details about the anatomy of the brain.
In the sheet below students will need to identify the various lobes and structures requested. In the next sheet they are asked to identify the various functions of cranial nerves, and finally, another sheet that asks students to colour specific parts of the brain certain colours based on the information provided.

Assignment 2
In this assignment students will be put into groups of 3 or 4 depending on the size of the class. They will be assigned one of the following sections of the brain: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, the occipital lobe, the hindbrain, the midbrain, the forebrain, and then the hemispheres, and the cranial nerves can be added as needed (again depending on the number of students in the class. Once the group of students has been assigned a particular region of the brain they will be responsible for developing a more in-depth understanding of that section, its functions, and responsibilities, as well as possible outcomes of damage to that region. They will then need to "teach" the rest of the class about that region of the brain. They can do this in a variety of ways, a short power point presentation, a video, a poster and presentation, or a notes package highlighting important information. As this is group work it is important to keep and eye out that everyone is doing their fair share of the work, and no students is truly uncomfortable with the method of presentation their group has chosen. The rest of the students not "teaching" will be responsible for recording the important information about the areas of the brain that they did not cover.
