Rather than give my students a test on geometric constructions, I chose to have them complete a poster project. They were required to think of a theme and find ways to incorporate the 10 - 12 constructions we've studied into the theme. The ideas is that students are looking for geometry in the world around them while they learn and perfect their constructions.
The projects were due today, and they spanned the entire range, from awful to amazing. (I'll show pictures when I get them.) So during class today I had my students grade each other's work. This is partly intended to give them practice following a rubric. But mostly it's to allow students time to appreciate each other's hard work.
Favorite student quote of the day: "I'm sick of grading." ~Honors Geometry Student after 90 minutes of peer assessment. ("Just imagine how I feel every day," was my response.)
