Cell city Analogy Criteria
Name: ______________________
Date: ______________________
 Create a picture of what you are comparing your cell to. This is NOT a picture of a cell but of a house,
amusement park, car, etc. The picture can be drawn by hand or created on the computer.
 Include the organelles listed on your graphic organizer.
 Include a key that tell which organelle compares to which part of your analogy.
 Include your graphic organizer.
 Include a chart with the function of each part of your analogy, and why it is like the organelle. The function of
the analogy part should match the ‘real’ function of the organelle. The chart and graphic organizer should be
stapled to your picture.
If your analogy is that of an animal cell, include the following:
o
o
o
o
o
Nucleus
Mitochondria
Cell membrane
Lysosome
Vacuole
o

o
o
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi body
Cytoplasm
If your analogy is that of a plant cell, include the following:
o

Nucleus
Mitochondria
Cell membrane
Lysosome
Vacuole (large)

Self-assessment:
o I have created a picture
o I have included all organelles necessary
o I have a key explaining the comparison of
organelle to part of analogy
o I have included a chart with the function of each
part
o Functions of parts of analogy makes sense with
function of cell organelles
o I have stapled Chart and Graphic organelle sheet
to my picture.
o I have looked at teacher’s rubric to give myself my
grade.
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi body
Cytoplasm
Chloroplasts
Partner assessment:
o Two things my partner did well are:
1.
2.
o
One thing they can improve on:

Rubric for cell city analogy
Student self-assessment
4
Visual representation has
enough detail showing
understanding of how the
analogy relates to cell and its
organelles.
3
Visual representation has
enough detail but one example
shows lack of understanding of
how the analogy relates to cell
and its organelles.
All organelles have been
included, Key, Chart and Cell
Organelles Graphic Organizer
are all present.
One piece of information is
missing from either the
organelles, Key, Chart and Cell
Organelles Graphic Organizer.
All of the functions of analogy
parts makes sense with
function of cell organelles.
Analogies indicate students
understanding.
12
Total =
One of the functions of
analogy parts may not make
sense with function of cell
organelles. All but one analogy
indicate students
understanding.
2
Visual representation has a
few missing details and/or
examples shows some lack of
understanding of how the
analogy relates to cell and its
organelles.
One to two pieces of
information are missing from
either the organelles, Key,
Chart and Cell Organelles
Graphic Organizer.
One to two of the functions of
analogy parts may not make
sense with function of cell
organelles. These two
analogies indicate student has
some misunderstanding.
1
Visual representation has
many missing details and/or
many examples show lack of
understanding of how the
analogy relates to cell and its
organelles.
More than two pieces of
information are missing from
either the organelles, Key,
Chart and Cell Organelles
Graphic Organizer.
Two to thee of the functions of
analogy parts may not make
sense with functions of cell
organelles. These two to three
analogies indicate student has
some misunderstanding.
