The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic.

Click on the Monster Tools file you see on the right

Set the stroke and fill BEFORE drawing!

At the top left of your screen, click the down arrow beside the Fill box and select NONE...

Set the stroke color to RED...

Set the stroke weight to 10 pt

Create Straight Lines

1. Create the Teeth artboard

To create straight lines with the Pen tool, click and release to create an anchor point. Move the pointer, and you’ll see a preview of the path you are creating. 

Click and release to create another anchor point. You can continue clicking and releasing in different areas to create more anchor points for the path.

To close a path, move the pointer over the original anchor point and, when a circle shows next to the pointer, press the Shift key and click the end point. To stop drawing a path without closing it, press the Escape key.

Create Curves

2. Draw the Antenna artboard

To draw a curve when creating an anchor point, drag to create direction handles, and then release. 

The more you drag when creating or editing anchor point handles, the more curve the path has.

Create corner points (change path direction)

3. Create the Mouth artboard

To change the direction of a path while drawing, drag to create a smooth point (a curve). Release the mouse button. Move the pointer over the end of a direction handle, press the Alt key, and drag the end of the handle to split them.

Remove direction handles

To remove a direction handle as you draw with the Pen tool, so that you can go from a curve to a straight line, click back on the last anchor point created to remove the handle. Then continue drawing.

It should look something like this (below) when you are done! Do NOT worry about filling in with color! 

Practice the Pen tool

4. Practice artboard
