Post AC schedule

Materials: Analogy starter sheet, Cell Organelle PPT, Individual cell organelle strips of paper, various materials for cell organelles in the classroom (placed in the center of the room).

Starter: Put directions on the screen (define an analogy, tell them where to pick the sheet up, tell them that they are only supposed to complete the middle column right now).
As the students are working check for completion on homework. Discuss starter.

Lesson: Go through the cell organelle ppt to make sure the students have the correct functions of each organelle and have the cells labeled properly. After the ppt have the students get into pairs. Have each pair pick an organelle. Based off of the organelle the pair picked, each group is going to grab something in the middle of the room to represent their organelle and put it in a location. The class is going to work together to build a cell (they can use anything in the classroom). Students that have organelles that work together need to talk with each other and specifically work together (ie. ER and ribosomes, different parts of the nucleus, etc...). When the class is finished, go around the room and ask each group why they chose what they did. Have the class pick up the materials and place them back in the center of the room.

HW: Their homework assignment is to complete the 3rd row of the starter sheet. They are to come up with a different analogy for each organelle in the center column.
