Our Inkscape quiz will require students to perform the following functions while using the softwar in real time:
1. Setup a workspace using Document Properties [FILE > DOCUMENT PROPERTIES > Choose dimensions, background color, orientation, etc.] 2. Import an image file (jpg, tif, png, etc.) [FILE > IMPORT > Select an image that you've already saved.] 3. Draw basic (2-D, not Create 3-D Boxes) geometric and freeform shapes [On the left-hand toolbox bar, select the RECTANGLE tool (blue-ish square button). Move your cursor into the workspace. Press and hold left mouse button and drag the cursor, making your rectangle the size and proportions you want.] 4. Put text to path [Type something using the TEXT tool (the "A" button on the left-hand toolbox bar). Then, somewhere else on your workspace, draw a 2-D shape, spiral or free-hand line (using the pencil tool on the left-hand toolbox bar). You will then have two objects on the page, the text and the line. Using the SELECT tool (the black arrow at the top of the left-hand tool box bar), click on one of the objects. You will know that the object is selected when eight arrows surround the object. Then select the second object with the SELECT tool by clicking on it while holding down SHIFT. Once both objects are selected, click TEXT on the top command bar. From the dropdown menu, click PUT ON PATH.] 5. Change the Colors of objects [SELECT an object you've drawn. From the top command bar click on OBJECT. From the drop down menu click STROKE AND FILL. A toolbox will open on the right-hand side of your screen. Experiment with the FILL (color of the object) and STROKE (outline) variations. 6. Apply Filters to objects [SELECT an object you've drawn. From the top command bar, click FILTERS. Experiment with the MANY different visual effects you can get by applying the various filters to it.] DATES FOR THE QUIZ ARE AS FOLLOWS: PERIOD 3a: MONDAY, OCTOBER 23rd (MOVED TO WEDNESDAY, OCT 25) PERIODS 6b & 7b: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24th (MOVED TO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26) STUDENTS WILL BE SEATED AT A COMPUTER, WORKING IN InkScape WHILE PROMPTED BY ME TO EXECUTE THE COMMANDS

To wrap text to path you need to make a circle that is blank and add the stroke outline of black and dark. Then you need to make a text box with whatever you want to say and then go to the arrow at the top left corner. Click on the text box and then hold the shift button while tapping the outlined blank circle, then go up to object to path, click it and you have wrapped your text to path.
