Liken a cell and its organelles to a tiny person and its organs. After gathering information on cell structures and their functions, small groups collaborate to come up with an analogy of their own. They produce a collage describing the cell and its organelles, side-by-side with the comparison. This creative approach to teaching cell organelles allows learners to make connections to something that they are familiar with.
