PART II
(150 points)
Choose ONE of the options below to display your knowledge of the features of cells.
Option #1: Create a comic book that brings the organelles to life. Use personification (with human
names and characteristics).
Option #2: Create a video that teaches the viewers all about cells.
Option #3: Write a poem that shows your understanding of plant and animal cells. This poem must
be an original poem written by you. At least one visual artwork that goes with your
poem must be included.
Option #4: Create a power point slide show that focuses on cells and their organelles. No copying
& pasting is allowed.
Option #5: Write (and sing) a song about cells and their organelles. You may change the words to
a familiar song. Record your song (anyone can sing it) and turn it in.
Option #6: Create a children’s storybook about cells and their organelles. Use personification. Be
sure to include pictures in your book.
Specific Requirements:
Grade:
* At least 8 different organelles from an animal or
plant cell are used.
* Both the structure and function of each organelle
should be described in details.
* The connections between different organelles must be
made. Every organelle should be connected to
another organelle either structurally (ex: most
ribosomes are attached to the endoplsmic
reticulum) or functionally (ex: chloroplasts &
mitochondria work together to give a cell energy).
* At least 50% of your artwork should be hand-drawn.
100% of artwork should be colored.
* You may either type or handwrite. Be neat & organized.
