Models:

Models or representations may take any appropriate form in any medium, from a colored pencil sketch to a music video. Creativity in construction is encouraged. The model, in whatever form it takes, must include a part for each of the cell parts.

Analogies:

Along with your model, you will submit a list of analogies between cell parts and the city parts you represented them with. Each analogy should take the following form

A city part is like a cell part because…
