The students are asked to apply their knowledge of transformations and compositions for this project. They can use their creativity to write a story about a character. This character will be the "shape" they "transform." I like this project because it allows students to be creative while applying Geometry skills. This preview includes an example. The file includes instructions for the students, a rubric, and a student example.

Students use the rubric and checklist to create a card to give to someone in the community! They are required to include constructions (like a square and hexagon) in their artwork. After constructing the required figures, students use their creativity to decorate and color the card. This is a great way to assess their construction skills in Geometry. I have included the word document so that you can edit it to make it more specific for your class.
