TEACHER INSTRUCTION STUDENT WORK
Ask questions and determine if students
need help with creating constructions.
Quiz students on constructions and
discuss closely related constructions.
(Perpendicular bisector vs. perpendicular
Students will answer questions given by
the teacher
Students will provide responses aiding
the correct sequence to complete the
construction.
lines through a given point.)
Introduce students to a GIF making
website such as Gif Maker.me.
Show students how to create a GIF using
a series of images. Tell students that they
are free to choose whichever
constructions they like from the
worksheets completed the previous day.
Explain to students how to properly
upload images in correct order and
change settings in order to speed up or
slow down the animation.
Explain how to complete the GIF file and
save it correctly.
Direct students to pin image to their
Pinterest board.
Students should also re-pin two GIF files
from their fellow classmates.

Students will write down notes regarding
how to correctly use GifMaker.me
Students will begin by creating the
images necessary for the GIF file. They
can be done on paper or on a drawing
app.

Students will upload images to the
website to create the app.

Upon completing the GIF file students
will upload them to Pinterest boards.



Students will re-pin and comment on two
GIF files from their classmates.
STUDENT PRODUCTS
Students will create the images for the GIF files. Students will create a GIF animation
of a construction demonstrating the correct sequence of completion.
Students must also pin their animation to Pinterest and comment on two of their
fellow classmates pins.
