Invented Notation Practice Activity Invented Notation Practice Activity In this activity, you will create three invented notations, each for a different teacher-provided phrase in three different mediums: language, math, and music. The purpose of this activity is to gain some practice with both making invented notations and also interpreting invented notations of others. An invented notation is a notation that is created by the notator, using whatever system he or she devises to symbolize the necessary elements of the medium being notated.

Invented Notation 60 % Three invented notations for the provided three phrases
	Not submitted/Incomplete 0 pts	Few to no criteria met 1 pts	Some criteria met 2 pts	All criteria met 3 pts
Language Phrase Notation "Usually I like to eat apples, but yesterday I felt like baking three cookies."
Constraints 2 pts You may not use the letters of the alphabet	Not submitted/Incomplete This notation was not submitted or is incomplete	Few to no criteria met Letters of the alphabet were used, and used with little to no difference in how they are used in the conventional system.	Some criteria met Letters of the alphabet were used, but not used in the conventional manner.	All criteria met No letters of the alphabet were note used in this notation.
Semantic Relationships 7 pts The goal is not to simply replace the visual symbols in the conventional system with visual systems that you create. Instead, in addition to making your own visual symbols, you should attempt to represent the medium in a fundamentally different way. This could be by choosing different aspects of the medium to represent or by representing aspects of the medium in different ways.	Not submitted/Incomplete This notation was not submitted or is incomplete	Few to no criteria met The notation is essentially a copy of the conventional system, but with different visual symbols (conventional symbols can be replaced one-to-one for invented symbols and result is the same)	Some criteria met The notation system is noticeably different than the conventional system because either: 1. at least 1 different aspect of the medium is represented (compared to conventional system) 2. at least 1 aspect represented in the conventional system is represented in a fundamentally different way	All criteria met The notation system is fundamentally different than the conventional system because either: 1. Completely different aspects of the medium are represented (compared to conventional system) 2. All aspects represented in the conventional system are all represented in a fundamentally different way
Creativity 1 pts	Not submitted/Incomplete Entirely Conventional	Few to no criteria met Mildly Creative	Some criteria met Moderately Creative	All criteria met Highly Creative
Mathematical Phrase Notation X^2 + 4y - z/2 = 983
Constraints 2 pts You may not use Arabic numerals or standard operation symbols	Not submitted/Incomplete This notation was not submitted or is incomplete	Few to no criteria met Arabic numerals or standard operation symbols were used, and with little to no difference in how they are used in the conventional system.	Some criteria met Arabic numerals or standard operation symbols were used, but not in the conventional manner.	All criteria met No Arabic numerals or standard operation symbols were used in this notation.

Constraints 2 pts You may not use WSMN symbols. You also may not use words.	Not submitted/Incomplete This notation was not submitted or is incomplete	Few to no criteria met WSMN symbols or words were used, and with little to no difference in how they are used in the conventional systems.	Some criteria met WSMN symbols or words were used, but not in the conventional manner associated with the respective notation systems.	All criteria met Neither WSMN symbols nor words were not used in this notation.
