Narrative:
Myself and my student were doing touch-and-goes in a PA28-140 at 7g0. We were making all calls and were the only ones in the pattern. A call was heard, 'C152 east of airport will be entering downwind.' at this time I was upwind turning crosswind. Coming out of this turn, the previously called traffic was at pattern altitude entering direct on downwind. To avoid collision with traffic, I dove down on my crosswind and allowed traffic to pass over me. For separation purposes, I did a right 360 degree turn and rejoined downwind. I questioned C152 pilot and he responded, 'I said I was entering downwind and I had you in sight.'
