Design a New State Seal

Students will use their knowledge of Florida symbols, individuals, documents, and events to create a new state seal. Students will incorporate the study of various lines and quadrilaterals into their design. They will justify what symbols they picked and how they fit into the requirements of the project in this model eliciting activity. Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations.
