 * Set Design in 3-D Dana Rose Fleming**


 * Objective:** Students will demonstrate proficiency in Google Sketchup technology by using it to convert a 2-D set design to 3-D.


 * Materials Needed:**
 * Lap-top with Projector
 * Access to a computer lab
 * Manilla Folders (one for each student)
 * School Scissors (one pair for each student)
 * Rulers (one for each student)
 * Simple 2-D Set design (two copies for each student)
 * Masking Tape


 * Note**-correlate with technology teacher to have him provide a day of instruction to your students in Google Sketchup technology prior to this lesson.


 * Anticipatory Set/Hook:** Give each student a copy of the 2-D Set design, a pair of scissors, a manilla folder, a ruler and tape. Ask the students to use measurements given on set design to turn the 2-D model 3-D by measuring, cutting, and taping pieces of the manilla folder onto the paper.


 * Instruction:**

//Step One (Discussion):// Ask the students what difference it could make to have a 3-D set design as opposed to 2-D? What are the possible benefits and disadvantages? What difference could the model make to a director? A designer? Set builders? Actors?

//Step Two (Instruction and Modeling):// Using your lap top hooked up to a projector, demonstrate how you would begin using the technology to convert the set design to 3-D. emphasize the importance of exact measurements (height, depth, width).

//Step Three (Check for Understanding/Guided Practice):// Hand out another copy of the set design to each student. Allow students bulk of class time in the computer lab to work on this project. Have students who are excelling help others in the class who are struggling. Another option is having technology students assist your students if class times correlate.


 * Assessment:**

Students are to email you their final products. Those who complete the assignment and have accurate measurements receive full credit. Points are deducted for incorrect measurements.
