They can be rotated.

have him draw directly on the graphic organizer **You don’t want to have someone else do it. The child should still have full ownership, but you make a slight adaptation. Also, take note of what the point of the lesson is. Are you assessing their ability to sort shapes, or their ability to cut? IF they draw the shapes into categories, you are still assessing their knowledge of the shapes.
