After several attempts and much frustration, we devised a new plan. We looked at a variety of different towers on the internet, and we checked out books from the library. We talked about what we noticed in the designs of the towers.... the shapes, the patterns....
The students then decided to try again, but this time they wanted to draft pictures of their own towers and then begin construction.
Referring to a picture in a book during construction.
This student was excited to show us her dress with the Eiffel Tower on it.
The students worked cooperatively to build this tower. They are all so proud.
