THE BEFORE

This is a small assignment that I have given to my Science 9

students. They are asked to create an analogy of each
organelle listed. They are also asked to analyze a partners
analogy.
 THE AFTER

I created a rubric so that students know exactly what the

expectations are for them. Even though this is a mini assignment,
I felt like the “before” wasn’t very clear as to how this was going
to be assessed.
I also put the example and the vocabulary into a graphic
organizer so that students can use the example as a reference
when doing their own analogies.
 THE AFTER

The vocabulary are set in graphic organizers on a separate

piece of paper from the rubric and the example. That way the
students don't have to flip from one page to another making it
more accessible. The other vocabulary words are on another
graphic organizer just as this. I didn't include it.
