Geometry City Project-Parallel Lines

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 house7.) Movie Theater2.) High School8.) Restaurant3.) 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 Worship6.) 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 as1) Vertical2) A Linear Pair3) Alternate Interior4) Alternate Exterior5) Consecutive Interior 6) Correspondingand 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.

Timeline:Sept 24/25- Intro to Project and RequirementsSept 27 (Fri)- time to work together in class to design street layoutOct 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.

Map Submitted with Legend and City Info4 quadrants submitted separately4 quadrants submitted together4 quadrants submitted together. Names for each quadrant. Placed neatly.Proficient plus evidence of neighborhood characteristics and themes.

Quadrants Coalesced as a CityNot 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.

PresentationAttempted but clearly unplanned.Planned but one or more group member seemed unknowledgeable about their own work and/or its place in the groups projects.Everybody can speak about their own quadrant AND communicate how it fits into the larger citys map. Proficient plus group can explain how their design promotes certain cultural aspects in their city, giving it character.
