Quilt Skyline The Mission: The Mayor of North Miami, Florida has asked you and your classmates to design and create a quilt of a city skyline to hang up in City Hall. In order to create the quilt, you and your classmates will have to learn about different geometric shapes/patterns and observe a city skyline. You will take your illustrations of the city skyline and place them in a pattern that will form one piece of the quilt. You will know you have been successful when your quilt showing a city skyline with geometric shapes and patterns is hung up in City Hall. The Process: You will be working in cooperative groups with classmates. Ms.Ariyan will assign you to a specific group. Everyone in the group will have specific roles.
The whole class will observe the patterns of quilts by sharing quilt books and quilts. You will be divided into six (6) groups with five (5) people in each group You will take turns looking at shapes in books and on the Internet. Here are the online sites that you can search:
