Make a Cell Analogy Cartoon
Creating an analogy cartoon is an effective way to learn or teach what the different parts of the cell are and what each part does within the cell. If you are an educator, having students create an analogy cartoon individually or within groups is an informative and fun activity. If you are a student, this may be a perfect project to do for your science class.
Instructions
1. Writing your cell analogy as a list first will make it easier to create a story and a scene for your cartoon.
Write out your specific cell analogy as a list. Each part of the cell should have an analogical representation with specific details. For example, if your analogy is that the cell is like a country, the nucleus is the government which is in charge of the rest of the cell. Mitochondria would be represented as power plants, which create energy. Keep going until you have an analogy for every part of the cell
2. Write a short story based on your list. This story can be short and simple, focusing on one small part of the cell, or more complex, focusing on multiple systems in the cell. An example of a story for your cell analogy is the cell membrane as the Immigration and Customs center. A foreign invader that does not have clearance to be in the cell could be rejected, and very mad about it, continuously trying to figure out ways to invade the cell.
3. Speech bubbles can communicate clearly to your reader what each analogy means.
Draw out your story. If you want to draw a simple cartoon, stick with cell shapes that are fairly simple. If you want to make your cartoon more complex, use buildings and other items that are more relative to the human environment for your story. Use speech and thought bubbles for communication throughout. Coloring the cartoon is optional but can be helpful, especially if you are using simple cell shapes.
