2. Your information must be accurate.

3. The cell organelles (parts of the cell) must be clearly labeled (using numbers) and a key for your map must be developed. For example, ( #1) city hall = nucleus.

4. The structure/shape of the cell organelle is represented. (Use diagrams)

• Map of attraction- include the cell organelle structures on the map
• The overall shape of the cell can relate to your brochure- slice of pizza, Hershey Kiss, lollipop, etc.

5. The function of the organelle is described in 2-4 sentences. (What is its purpose in your attraction that connects to the function in a plant or animal cell?)
