Cell “Travel Brochure” Project – Assignment Sheet
Objective:

Due to the recent increase in gas prices, studies have shown that people have
become less likely to travel. Knowing this fact, ICTA, the International Cell
Tourism Association has decided to take the opportunity to advertise and
hopefully increase human vacations to their only attractions…cells. Your job is
to create a travel brochure that highlights and advertises the different parts of the
cell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Directions / Requirements:


Choose the “type” of cell to advertise and create a brochure for. Possibilities
include: beach resort, factory, amusement park, island…
Discuss/include a minimum of five cell structures. Some possibilities include but
are not limited too:
o Nucleus
o Lysosomes
o Mitochondria
o Endoplasmic Reticulum
o Cell Membrane
o Golgi Apparatus
o Cytoplasm
o Ribosomes
Create an analogy between the cell structure and the job of something at your
destination (Town Hall = Nucleus). Write a description of what is done at the
location and list the cell structure in parenthesis.
o Town Hall: Be sure to stop here first! This is where all the information
about Cell City can be found. Also this is where Mayor Eukayto resides.
If your lucky maybe you’ll meet him! (nucleus)
Include a map or diagram of your location. May be made on the computer or
drawn. Be sure that it is neat, organized and includes a key.
Choose your format:
o Option 1- Paper brochure – Create a brochure similar to those which
advertize for other resorts. Include a map and descriptions as well as other
creative features. See in-class examples.
o Option 2 – Glogster format – Create your project using Glogster. Should
include descriptions, diagram and other creative features (songs, pictures,
video clips…). Possible ten points of extra credit for using Glogster
format.
Be sure your final product is neat, organized, and eye-catching. Also double
check for grammar and spelling mistakes.
This project will count as a TEST grade! Be sure to review the attached
rubric so you understand how the project will be graded. Be creative BUT
be sure to stay on point and remember that the key to a good grade are clear
analogies between the location and the cell part.
