SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT NUMBER ONE

 

Part I:

 

Student Directions

 

Follow the directions to make a sketch according to specifications.

 

  1. Begin with a blank piece of typing paper and a pencil.
  2. Use the paper in landscape mode. (Crosswise, widthwise)
  3. In the middle of the paper, draw a triangle with three equal sides. The base of the triangle should face the bottom of the page.
  4. In the upper right corner of the paper, one-half inch from the top of the paper and one-half inch from the right side of the paper, draw a circle.
  5. In the middle of the circle draw a dot.
  6. Use a dotted line to connect the dot in the middle of the circle to the vertex at the top of the triangle. (A vertex is the point where two sides meet.)
  7. In the lower left corner of the paper, draw a rectangle, 2 inches from the bottom of the paper and 2 inches from the left side of the paper. The rectangle should be drawn lengthwise (in other words, the sides of the greater length will face upwards towards the top of the paper and downwards towards the bottom of the paper).
  8. Draw a horizontal line to cut (dissect) the rectangle into two equal parts.
  9. Draw a dot in the middle of the line that dissects the rectangle.
  10. Draw a solid line to connect the dot on the dissecting line of the rectangle to the dot in the middle of the circle.
  11. Draw a line that cuts (dissects) the triangle into two equal parts.
  12. Extend the line that dissects the triangle to the top of the paper as well as to the bottom of the paper. This line should run all the way to the top edge of the paper and all the way to the bottom edge of the paper.
  13. Once you have finished with the sketch, trace your pencil lines with an ink pen.
  14. Compare your sketch to what the sketch should look like if drawn according to specifications.

 

Part II:     On the back of your sketch, write responses to the following questions: Were you able to follow the written directions to complete the sketch accurately, according to the specifications listed?  If yes, explain why the directions were effective. If no, explain how the directions could be revised to make them easier to understand and/or more comprehensive.       

 

Part III:   Use a piece of blank paper to make a sketch that consists of three shapes, two dots, and three lines. Arrange these elements anyway you wish on the paper.  When you finish the sketch, create directions which will be read aloud to a partner to follow to create a replication of your sketch. Be sure the directions are logically organized, comprehensive, and clear.  Title the directions

 

Part IV:   Partner students.  Partner A uses their directions created in Part III to read to a partner.  Partner B follows the oral directions to create the product.  With the same partner, switch roles and use oral directions written by Partner B.
