      3. If you finish early enough, download this SVG file<\/a> and open it in Inkscape. (If you are doing this from home, VectorPea<\/a> is a web-based alternative.<\/li>\n
      4. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

              1. \"\"This video explains how to complete this assignment.<\/a><\/li>\n
              2. Start with a template from here.<\/a><\/li>\n
              3. Customize it using Inkscape (installed on the lab computers) or VectorPea.<\/a><\/li>\n
              4. Hand it in here.<\/a><\/li>\n
              5. Rubric:\n
                  \n
                1. File Type<\/strong>: Work is handed in as an SVG file.<\/li>\n
                2. Dimensions<\/strong>: Document is scaled to be roughly the same size as the character.<\/li>\n
                3. Subject<\/strong>: Work shows a character modified to represent the student handing in the work.<\/li>\n
                4. Originality<\/strong>: While the expectation is that the work is made from public domain sourced SVG files<\/a>, their arrangement and possible recoloring should be unique to the student handing it in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
