Review: Place Shapes, Make Mirror Pairs, and Describe Pictures
Make picture decisions that another person can inspect. Placement words organize shapes, a reflection preserves distance across a line, repeated marks suggest texture, and a careful caption names only the supplied visual evidence.

Use the skills in a new task
Complete these four parts. Answer each question, then make a separate drawing or written plan. Check each piece of work with the points given. 1. An original collage brief asks for a square above a triangle, with a gap between them. Which plan meets both conditions? Supplied candidates: (A) square at top; gap; triangle below (B) square beside triangle with no gap (C) square on top of and covering triangle (D) triangle at top; gap; square below. For your separate work, arrange two named shapes with the first above the second and an empty strip between. Criteria: The named order and the visible gap match the written brief. 2. A dot is 9 grid squares left of a vertical mirror line. Where does its reflected partner go? Supplied candidates: (A) Place it 10 squares right of the line (B) Place it 9 squares above the line (C) Place it on the line (D) Place the matching dot 9 squares right of the center line, at the original dot’s height. For your separate work, draw a vertical line and three dots on its left, then add each reflected partner on the right. Criteria: Each pair has equal line distance and equal height on opposite sides. 3. A fictional material description is “woven crossings.” Which mark plan represents that specific visible pattern? Supplied candidates: (A) a single large triangle (B) one empty white region (C) one straight border only (D) two crossing sets of short parallel lines. For your separate work, make two small texture patches, one with rough dots and one with smooth parallel strokes. Criteria: Each patch repeats its stated feature; labels distinguish represented texture from actual paper feel. 4. The complete original picture description says: “A child looks toward a gate.” Which caption stays within the shown evidence? Supplied candidates: (A) A child looks toward a gate (B) The child has never done this before (C) The child is definitely the happiest person in town (D) The child will repeat this action tomorrow. For your separate work, draw a figure holding an object, then write one factual caption and one clearly labeled imagined story sentence. Criteria: The factual caption matches the drawing; the imagined sentence is explicitly identified as invention.
Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.
- Answer all four questions and explain what in each description helped you choose.
- Make each of the four drawings or written plans.
- Use the checklist for each piece of work, then show one change that improves it.
- Describe the shape placement, mirror pairs, texture marks and captions you made.
Compare with a model response
1. square at top; gap; triangle below. The vertical order puts square above triangle, and an empty strip separates their boundaries. Swapping order or overlapping the shapes would break a stated condition even if the collage still looked attractive. Check the separate work: The named order and the visible gap match the written brief. 2. Place the matching dot 9 squares right of the center line, at the original dot’s height. A vertical reflection keeps height and reverses horizontal direction. Equal distance to the mirror line places the partner 9 squares to the right. Count from the center line rather than from the page edge. Check the separate work: Each pair has equal line distance and equal height on opposite sides. 3. two crossing sets of short parallel lines. The description names woven crossings. The chosen marks—two crossing sets of short parallel lines—repeat the relevant small feature and direction. This is drawn texture; it suggests a surface and does not make paper physically feel like that material. Check the separate work: Each patch repeats its stated feature; labels distinguish represented texture from actual paper feel. 4. A child looks toward a gate. The evidence directly describes a child who looks toward a gate. The supported caption repeats that visible action without inventing a feeling, a future event or a past history. An imagined story could add those ideas only if labeled as invention. Check the separate work: The factual caption matches the drawing; the imagined sentence is explicitly identified as invention.
A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
