Your group will strategically design a city. You will include the specific buildings listed below. You can choose where to place each building but you must have a good reason for choosing that location. Your reasons should explain the relationship between this building and others.
Each person will design one quadrant of the city.
Each section of the city must have these features in its layout: 1.) 6 streets parallel to at least one other street, named 2.) 2 transversal streets, named
The following buildings must be in EACH QUADRANT of your city and you must justify why you chose to place them where you did. Plan this first, then start constructing the city. It may be hard to find 12 angle relationships that make sense with only 12 buildings. This is why you have partners. 1.) Your house 7.) Movie Theater 2.) High School 8.) Restaurant 3.) Courthouse or City Hall or Library or Jail 9 and 10.) Two gas stations 4.) Bank 11.) An elementary school 5.) Grocery Store 12.) Place of Worship 6.) A park
You must describe your city by writing about the angle relationships in it. Describe 2 of each type of angle relationship by naming the buildings that are located as 1) Vertical 2) A Linear Pair 3) Alternate Interior 4) Alternate Exterior 5) Consecutive Interior 6) Corresponding and explain why you chose to build them in those locations. Use the street names and refer to the streets as parallels or a transversal.
For example: The __________ and the ___________ are on _____Street, which is a transversal, between the parallel _____ and _____ Streets. We placed them________ to each other because __________.
Each building must be labeled or a picture of the building should be used. Your final project will be turned in on construction paper or a poster paper. You may also do the whole project on a computer but it needs to be printed and pasted onto a poster board. The buildings can be drawn or cut out from pictures. Either way, it must be colorful. All land lots that occupy congruent spaces must be color-coded so they match. The building can be any color as long as the land beneath it is visible. The supplementary angles should automatically end up color-coded so theyre different colors from each other. Provide a legend that tells me what each color means.

Responsibilities to the group -Grade 1 other persons quadrant by the rubric -Check Grammar on everybodys work -Grade 1 other persons quadrant by the rubric - check correctness of angle relationships on everybodys work -Grade 1 other persons quadrant by the rubric - check coordination between quadrants -co-draft the presentation -Grade 1 other persons quadrant by the rubric -check that all requirements are met on time -co-draft the presentation
Timeline: Sept 24/25- Intro to Project and Requirements Sept 27 (Fri)- time to work together in class to design street layout Oct 1/2 (Tues/Wed)- Streets, names, and color-coded lots should be done!!! Time to work in class on placing buildings. Would be helpful to have cut outs to represent buildings. Keep track of angle relationships as you go. Oct 4 (Fri)- Explanations should be done in sentences. Give your map and explanations to your Checker. WEEKEND HOMEWORK: Check each others work against the rubric. Oct 8/9 (Tues/Wed)- PROJECTS DUE!!!! PRESENTATIONS BEGIN. 5-10 minutes each.
GROUP GRADES Emerging 1 Developing 2 Proficient 3 Advanced 4 Map Submitted with Legend and City Info 4 quadrants submitted separately 4 quadrants submitted together 4 quadrants submitted together. Names for each quadrant. Placed neatly. Proficient plus evidence of neighborhood characteristics and themes. Quadrants Coalesced as a City Not at all; random mess.
Slightly. Some streets continued through the city. Some buildings make sense between quadrants. Streets were fully coordinated. Buildings showed significant strategizing between quadrants. Fully coordinated streets and building locations between quadrants. Presentation Attempted but clearly unplanned. Planned but one or more group Everybody can speak about their Proficient plus group can explain member seemed unknowledgeable about their own work and/or its place in the groups projects. own quadrant AND communicate how it fits into the larger citys map. how their design promotes certain cultural aspects in their city, giving it character.

Aesthetic Quality Legible Neat but not colorful Neat, colorful, and buildings resemble real versions. Beautiful. Worthy of being hung up on the wall.
Congruent Angles are Color-coded Identifies at least two congruent angles Forgets or mis-colors more than 2 angles Forgets or mis-colors 1 or 2 angles Identifies all congruent angles with the same colors and provides a legend.
Supplementary Angles are Color-coded Identifies at least two angles that are supplementary to the angles identified above. Forgets or mis-colors more than 2 angles Forgets or mis-colors 1 or 2 angles Identifies all pairs of supplementary angles by color- coding correctly and providing a legend.
Vertical (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the intersecting streets correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the intersecting streets correctly. Also justifies why those locations were chosen.
Linear Pair (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the intersecting streets correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the intersecting streets correctly. Justifies.
Corresponding (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Justifies.
Alternate Interior (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Justifies.
Alternate Exterior (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Also justifies why those locations were chosen.
Consecutive Interior (Pair 1 and Pair 2 graded separately and each worth 4 points) Identifies two locations incorrectly Identifies two locations correctly. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Identifies two locations correctly, names the transversal correctly, and identifies the parallel lines. Also justifies why those locations were chosen.
