Organelles Rap Song

What does my rap song have to say?

• Vocabulary (12 total):– all organelles on your chart– 2 more of your choice

• Rhymes: – A rhyming word for each organelle

• Lyrics that give factual information about each organelle

Example – A Rap about The Immune System

Pathogen,That nasty disease you don’t want back againGot it from sharin’a drink with your friendConsider that a mortal sin Woah it’s a PHAG O Cytefind a pathogen down to fightit will engulf it in its system like a shark bite Hey, there’s my friendly neighbor SpidermanSIKE its an antigenHangin on the virus’ shiny skinSets off an immune response and I’m gonna win, Snap Click Clack pick packIt’s a helper T cell Major driving force like an air wellActivates b and killer t cells

So what’s up killer t cell?Like a murderer on the runKillin viruses with an army, sonGet that invader of this park, HOME RUN

Hey there my b cell No retailClone themselves into plasma cellsThere’s not much to it, cant you tell? AHAAAA, now its plasma’s turnThis fluid helps so ya better learnReleasin antibodies in turnCauses that pathogen some major con SERN

Bean, mean, keen, lean it’s a proteinDang its an antibodyKeep me lookin good like a MazarattiBindin to that antigen actin naughtyThank god I gotchu shawty

How to get from one lyric to the next

• Try to make a story– Your cell could be a character with a name, the

organelles its body parts– You can start from a real person and zoom in on

one cell in their body to talk about what happens inside of it

– Your cell could be a city, and you are walking through it, visiting the different parts (use the analogies from your notes)

POSTER PRESENTATION

• Follow these steps to make the best cell analogy ever!• Pick an analogy for a cell.

– Ex: A cell is like a brown bag lunch.• Vocabulary (12 total):

– all organelles on your chart– 2 more of your choice

• Design an illustration for your analogy.– It must be neat, and in color, with labels for all parts

• Prepare a 1-minute presentation of your project for the class to explain:

• A cell is like a _?__ because...• I chose _?_ to represent the nucleus because…
