Cells need to carry on the same basic functions as we do to sustain life; the difference is cells do this with much smaller parts. These smaller structures that allow the cell to function are called organelles – “tiny organs.” Also plant and animal cells have some similar parts and some parts that are not similar.
It’s only common sense that if you are able to relate things you learned in class to everyday things, you’ll remember it better. It’s not everyday that you and your friends sit around at Starbucks discussing the rough endoplasmic reticulum. However, you probably do discuss things like cars, your homes, places to visit, etc… Therefore, your task in this assignment is to relate the different cell organelles to an everyday situation or thing using an analogy.
You will come up with an analogy for the cell of your choice and its organelles. Your analogy will be represented in the form of a poster that represents a cell and its organelles. You should compare roles of 10 organelles to a part of the analogy.
Your poster will be evaluated according to the following criteria on a scale from 1 to 5. A “1” would mean that you did not meet my expectations for that section of the project. A “5” would mean that you went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations on that section of the project. A five will only be given if that specific section is exceptionally good!
Use these categories below before you finalize your poster to make sure you have met all of the requirements!
