Rubric: Making Flags

Planning: Decomposing Flags Worksheet

I correctly identified each of the shapes in the flag, along with their corresponding colors, widths, heights, and coordinates.

I correctly identified more than half of the shapes in the flag, along with their corresponding colors, widths, heights, and coordinates.

I correctly identified some of the shapes in the flag, along with their corresponding colors, widths, heights, and coordinates.

Modeling: Paper Flags

My paper model looks just like the flag I chose. All shapes are the correct sizes, and they are correctly positioned. My cutting and gluing is accurate and tidy.

My paper model looks a lot like the flag I chose, but some (less than half) of the shapes are inaccurately sized or positioned incorrectly.

My paper model barely looks like the flag I chose. Most (more than half) of the shapes are inaccurately sized and their positioning is incorrect. My cutting and gluing is messy.

Starter File: Defining Shapes

I have given each shape in my flag a sensible name and I have provided the correct code. When I type the shape names into the interactions area and hit enter, Pyret produces the image that I would expect it to produce.

I have defined most of the shapes in my flag correctly, but there’s something wrong with one of my shapes (e.g., the color is off or the size is wrong).

I have not defined all of the shapes in my flag, or I have defined all of the shapes but there’s something wrong with most of them (e.g., the color is off or the size is wrong).

Starter File: Image Description

I have thoughtfully, clearly, and accurately described my chosen flag as a comment.

I have remembered to describe my chosen flag, but I’ve omitted an important detail in my description.

I forgot to describe my chosen flag or my description is unclear and / or inaccurate.

Starter File: Build the Image

All of the coordinates and sizes are accurate. When I type the variable I chose for the image into the interactions area, Pyret produces a proportionally correct representation of my flag.

Most of the coordinates and sizes are accurate. When I type the variable I chose for the image into the interactions area, Pyret produces a representation of my flag that looks almost exactly like the original flag.

Most of the coordinates and sizes are incorrect. When I type the variable I chose for the image into the interactions area, Pyret produces a representation of my flag that looks different from the original flag.

Elegance and Accuracy of Code

I used "Return" to break up my code into separate lines in a consistent way, to make it easier to read. I defined WIDTH and HEIGHT as values to streamline my code. I avoided rounding, instead opting to provide precise ratios (i.e. HEIGHT / 3 rather than 66.6).

I used "Return" to break up my code into separate lines. I defined WIDTH and HEIGHT but did not use them everywhere in my code. Sometimes, I rounded rather than giving the precise value.

I did not use "Return" to break up my code into separate lines. I did not define WIDTH or HEIGHT. I frequently and needlessly rounded, when I could have given the precise value.
