Details:

An example of this activity is contained in one Paint file, GEO1.BMP.  For use on a network, this file should installed in a shared, read only directory on the server (The Winnipeg School Division No. 1 uses S:\2Student)

After launching Paint, students are ready to work.  Be sure to have students save the file with a unique name in another drive.

To save the first time:
Click on File
Click on Save As
Type in a file name
Choose a drive (If you choose a:\ be sure there is a disk in the drive)
OK

This activity makes use of both the tools and colour palette.  Students are directed to write statements of direction.  For example:  In the space below, draw a red circle with a blue radius and a green diameter.  Label each part.

Students may also wish to include a small solution to the statement.

As mentioned, once all students have created such an activity, a subsequent class can be used to allow time for students to solve the statements put forth by their classmates.
Utilizing a checklist to note which statements have been attended to may be appropriate.
