Download Cell A nalogy Poster Project - Rochester Community Schools

Names _____________________________________________________________ Date: ____________ Hr.__
Overview:
This is a two part project! A poster and a presentation to the class!
The group tasks- (Only 2-3 people in a group!)
You and your teammates will be designing a cell analogy poster. You will use the information you have learned about
cells and cell structure to design a city based on a cell. You will first research to learn about cells. Your text book, Cell
City Analogy worksheet is an excellent source and so are your notes. You will then begin to design your city. Each
group needs to turn in a large colored drawing of their city and a paper (type written) that explains the design of the city in
detail.
Each group is responsible for completing and submitting:
* Your rubric with EVERYONE’S name on it!
* The “Structure Chart”
* Rough draft of your poster
* Final copy of your poster (with everyone’s name on it!)
* One page summary explaining your analogy (with everyone’s name on it!)
Group Work= something that the group must turn in for grading!
Construction Guidelines: You must follow these guidelines when designing your city with your group.
The first thing everyone should do is discuss with your teammates whether you are going to design your
analogy based on an animal cell or plant cell. (Remember that a plant cell has a Cell Wall and Chloroplasts.)
Everyone should help fill out the Structure Chart. (ONE chart per group!)
Groups decide an overall theme, or style for their analogy to a cell. NO Human Body for a theme!
(example themes: City, School, Amusement Park, House, Luxury Liner, Airplane, Castle, Wayne Manor, etc...)
Try sketching your ideas on copy paper before drawing your final draft. This is your ROUGH DRAFT!
What will your analogy look like as a poster? Where will everything go in your analogy?
Don’t be afraid to make revisions or start over. Be sure that your analogy layout and cell function seems
logical. (I.e. The town hall shouldn’t be next to a garbage dump. Meaning the nucleus is not next to the
lysosome or vice-versa.)
When your layout is exactly how you want it, transfer your plan to your final draft. I can give you final draft
poster sized paper or you may get your own.
Finally, work as a group to write a one page summary, following the WMS writing standards. You need to
explain each part of your Analogy and how it similar to a part of a cell or a cell organelle!
