Assignment 1: Cell Analogy Poster (20%)

In a group of 4 or 5 members think of an analogy for a cell. Make a poster illustrating your
analogy.
Guidelines:

 Choose a real world working system and decide how each organelle of the eukaryotic
cell can be compared to the components and functions of the real world system.
 Some ideas are: hospital, city, mall, country, restaurant, zoo, garden, castle, etc.
 Create a large poster (Size A1) that is a visual representation of your analogy
illustrating all of the parts representing the cell organelles/structures.
 Make sure your analogous parts are logical, accurate representations of the
organelles.
 Label each part of your system with its name and the cell structure name. [Example:
principal-nucleus] Print your labels clearly. Check your spelling.
 Make sure your group name is on the back of the poster.
 The analogy poster must include the following organelles:

Or

 Write a report to explain the analogy and the actual cell. Your report should include
the following information: Organelle Name, Organelle Function, Analogous Structure,
Analogy Explanation. Justify reasons of choosing the analogy to represent the cell.
The following is an example of relating the organelle and its analogy.

 Evaluate the contribution of each group members by using the peer review form.
This will be done confidentially.
 Present your poster in week 6.
