Period ______ Date________________
In this assignment, you will compare cell organelles and functions to those of a working city or another
analogy with a theme. For this assignment you can be very creative. In the past, students have used
different themes such as: Disneyland, North Pole, farm, and Hunger Games.
Cell City Introduction
Floating around in the cytoplasm are small structures are called organelles. Like the organs in your own
body, each one carries out a specific function necessary for the cell to survive. Imagine the cell as a
miniature city (or another theme). The organelles might represent companies, places or parts of the city
because they have similar jobs. This is called a functional analogy.
Directions
1. Draw a diagram of a city or your theme. Clip art may be used to add to your city, but it should
supplement your drawings (not be entirely done of clip art) and it must be printed from home.
2. Label the city with corresponding city AND cell parts. See Example:
City Part
3. Include a key that lists what the cell part is and a description of what
it does and how they are related (cell andcity part).

You may be as artistic, creative, and humorous as you like.
You may use the notes from class or your book or other resources as much as needed.
