Cells R’ Us: Cell Similes Project Topic Due Date: _______________ Simile Rough Draft Due Date: _______________ Completed Project Due Date: _______________ As we explore the topic of cells, you will be introduced to many parts of the cell, all of which are responsible for helping cells live, grow, and reproduce. In order to demonstrate your understanding these parts, you will combine your scientific knowledge with a figurative writing technique called a simile to create a “Cell Simile.” A simile is a figure of speech in which two unrelated objects are compared to each other using like or as. For example: The brain is like the nucleus because it controls the body as the nucleus directs all the activities of the cell. 1. Familiarize yourself with the cell parts listed below by studying the “Cell Parts Notes” graphic organizer you completed in class. o o o o o nucleus* nucleolus cell membrane* cell wall* Golgi complex o o o o o cytoplasm* vacuole* lysosome ribosome chloroplasts* o o o mitochondria* ER (rough & smooth) Chromatin * required 2. Select an object or concept to represent a cell. It should be something that you know about and/or could research. For example, a cell is like a car, airplane, school, or the human body. All of these things have parts to them that contribute to the overall function of the object. Turn in your topic by the topic due date. NOTE: You must have teacher approval of your topic. In the event that multiple students select the same object/concept, it will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. (You may either e-mail your choice to me at [email protected] or write it down on a piece of notebook paper). If your topic has been selected, you may be asked to choose another. 3. Write a simile for each part of the object or concept you have chosen that compares that part to a cell structure. You must complete the seven required cell parts PLUS three of your own choice for a total of ten similes. (Any additional cell parts will be extra credit.) Turn in a rough draft of your similes by the rough draft due date listed above. Your similes must include a “because” as discussed & modeled in class to demonstrate your understanding of the cell part’s function. 4. The project requirements: Turn in the following on the project due date: a. You will create a power point presentation that you will present to the class. Similes must be clearly stated; including the “because” to demonstrate your knowledge of the functions of the cell part. Make sure the relationship to your chosen object or concept is clear. Include a good visual that represents each simile. b. An additional set of your similes (including the because) typed on a separate sheet of paper. You must write in complete sentences, use correct grammar and punctuation, and be accurate in your comparison. c. A short oral presentation to share your project with others in the classroom. d. Your completed Cell Parts Notes packet. adapted by K.
