=Stage 2 - Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

• Use Comiclife to demonstrate how transversals create equal angles in parallel lines. • Use Google SketchUp to create a geometric figure using parallel lines. Insert one angle measure and solve for the rest. • Take pictures of slopes in the real world and create an online collage. Group pictures by slopes that appear to be parallel. • Use Scribbler to create an example of the world without parallel lines. • Create a Prezi about the relationships of lines based on slope. || • Self-Assessment: Students will keep a blog about the progress and concerns of their Google SketchUp project. • Reflection:Students will be given the opportunity to orally tell how this project helped them solidify any concepts. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal: Your task is to create a super school that will bring America to the top of the world education system.**
 * Role: You are an architect bidding on the contract.**
 * Audience: You need to convince the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Secretary of Education that you can upgrade the facilities of the American school system using the animation feature of Google SketchUp.**
 * Situation: America is no longer a world super power. The government has determined the decline is due to the aging education facilities.**
 * Product/Presentation: You will create a super school that will bring America to the top of the world education system. It needs to be designed in Google SketchUp using parallel lines and angles made from transversals. Parallel lines should appear in multiply planes. Measurements of angle sets should be labeled to show the angle properties of parallel lines.** **Standards (Criteria from both rubrics - product and presentation): Google SketchUp: Creativity: 30%, Angles: 15%, Parallel Lines: 15%, Attractiveness: 20%, Creative Explanation: 10%, Animation: 10%, Oral Presentation: Attire: 15%, Speaks Clearly: 15%, Enthusiasm: 20%, Preparedness: 20%, Time-Limit: 10%, Listens to Others Presentations: 20%.** ||
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * **Other Evidence** **(OE)** ||
 * • Given equations, graph parallel lines on a Smartboard. Save and upload the screen images to the class wiki page.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * • Pre-Assessment: Students will complete an ungraded worksheet to determine what parts of the material they already know.

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * American has fallen from the list of world super powers. The government has determined the reason for the decline are the aging education facilities. Your job as an architect is to design a super school using what you know about parallel lines and their angles properties. Parallel lines should appear in multiple planes of your school. The measurement of sets of angles should be labeled to show the angle properties of parallel lines. The President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Secretary of Education await all proposals that will be shown using the animation feature of Google SketchUp. Please include a brief explanation of some key aspects of your school. If your design best upgrades America's education facility model, you will be awarded the contract to design all American schools. ||
