OBJECTIVE: To create a metaphor to visit the cell. You will create a tour of the cell parts and what they do.

Names of Group Members

Cell Parts that Must be Included in the Project:

PICK EITHER A PLANT OR AN ANIMAL CELL, BOTH HAVE 12 PARTS TO COMPLETE!

PROCEDURE: STEP 1: Choose either a plant or animal cell.STEP 2: Groups of 3 or 4 allowed. Pick and assign cell parts.STEP 3: Complete rough draft worksheet attached to this rubric.STEP 4: Get rough draft signed by teacher. You are ready to begin.

STEP 5: Create your project in Powerpoint. You may even create a video. Use the internet to look up information or your notes and worksheets.STEP 6: Present your project.

GENERAL GUIDELINES:1. You will earn 3 grades for this project: work completion, group work grade and

standard grade.2. Each person will earn a separate grade so you must do your part.3. You will be monitored throughout the process the make sure you are working the

whole time. The teacher will be walking around and making notes of those who work and those who don’t. That is part of your grade.

4. You have 2 days to create your Powerpoint. Everyday you will be assessed to make sure you have made progress.

5. You must get your rough draft completed before you can begin the project.6. If you are absent, you lose a day of work, just you, not your group.7. Use your own metaphor; do not copy other group’s work.

EXAMPLE:Welcome to Cell Public Schools! Our first stop on our tour is the nucleus. The nucleus is the main office in our school because the nucleus runs all the activities for the cell and contains the cell’s DNA. The office at our school runs the building and contains all the files on the students which is the “DNA”.DO NOT USE THE SCHOOL AS AN EXAMPLE!

OUR GENERAL PLAN IS… (How will you complete the project?) How will you arrange it?

Teacher’s Signature

Pick 4 cell parts, one for each group member, and attach a metaphor to each of them to start. You can do the rest later while you work on your project. This is just a start to the rough draft so I know you are thinking about the project properly.
