Due Date: __________________
Assignment:
Floating around in the cytoplasm of a cell are small structures called
organelles. Like the organs in your own body, each one carries out
a specific
function necessary for the cell to survive. In order to survive, the cell must be
able to interact with its surroundings, use energy, produce materials and
manage waste.
You will create a poster that compares a living plant cell and its organelles to a
city. The organelles will represent the parts of your place that carry out these
processes; use energy, produce substances and manage waste. Make
sure to make the organelles and the place in the city that you chose as the
analogy resemble one another.
All of the parts of the “city” should be labeled with the cell part and the analogy
you chose to represent it (put parentheses around the cell part). Your poster
must be colourful, neat and creative. Be sure to include all of the organelles
listed on the attached sheet and make sure that the analogies make sense and
represent the function of the organelle well
Procedure:
_____Step 1: Select your city analogy. (The cell is like _______________)
_____Step 2: Complete the cell city analogy worksheet
_____Step 3: Make a rough draft of your poster idea (shape of a plant cell)
_____Step 4: Create your poster (colourful, neat and creative)
_____Step 5: Label your poster with the cell part and make sure your cell part
and analogy take on a combined look
_____Step 6: Select a creative title (the word “cell” is in the title)
_____Step 7: Attach the completed cell city analogy worksheet and grading
rubric to your poster
Jobs include: drawing, organization, final copy of analogies on sheet, rough
draft, generating ideas, colouring, final construction, aesthetics
How will you divide the work? What is your responsibility?
