Process

Lesson 1

Part I -
 * You will be introduced to the webquest and directed to the resources. You will become familiar with the Livebinder that will be used for the Webquest and will then click on the Points, Lines and Planes Schema.

Part II –


 * Watch the 45-second video clip and complete the “I do”, “We do”, “You do” process that will be explained by the LMS (we will be using the information in Google Books from the book, Flatland: a romance of many dimensions.


 * After the LMS demonstrates how to access specific chapters via the table of contents page without having to scroll through the entire book and for the “I do” step, for the “We do” step, you and the LMS will search for “line” within the text and discuss what could be the definition for a line and finally you will complete the “You do” step, searching for the definition of a plane.


 * You will take a tour of each learning activity on the checklist (provided at the beginning of the lesson), noting on the Unit 1 Day 1 checklist the definitions and examples you can find for each of the undefined terms.


 * The teacher and LMS will lead a discussion about all of the undefined terms where you will share your summarized definitions for point, line, and plane while noting the interesting observations you may have encountered in one or more of the learning activities. Also be prepared to share which learning activity you enjoyed the most and why.

*Lessons 2 (Rigid Motion) and 3 (Parallel and Perpendicular Lines in Geometry) will be taught*

Logo Project Part I -
 * You will graph four points on graph paper and verify through algebra that the shape you constructed is a parallelogram.


 * Follow the instructions provided by the LMS in the computer lab regarding how to research the impacts and strategies of advertising-> Here, you will explore the blog “Meaning of Shapes” located on the Livebinder under resources of the Webquest

Part II - For this project, you will work in pairs and choose a company to design a geometric logo for on the coordinate plane. The original quadrilateral in the warm-up must be included in the design. The design should include a composite of at least 5 shapes (ones that have been covered in Geometry thus far) and at least 1 transformation, rotation, and reflection of these shapes.
 * Your teacher will now introduce you to the Logo Project.


 * You will be required to hand in a rough draft for the teacher to approve before the final design is created. This can be a hand sketch, or made on an online resource such as Geogebra.


 * Once your design is created, you must calculate the total perimeter of the logo as if it had to be embroidered onto a piece of clothing.


 * Once the final product is complete, you will be required to explain which types of geometric figures were used and why (relating back to research on the meanings and effects each shape has in design). This explanation should also include an explanation of any transformations that were used when making the design.
