REVISING AND SHARING

WE GIVE STUDENTS A FINAL CHALLENGE to design and construct their own home and its surrounding environment using the templates of nets they created in an earlier activity.

STUDENTS AUTONOMOUSLy HOLD A CRITIQUE session evaluating the architectural sculptures wherein every child participates fully. We utilize and synthesize our own learning about the art form and critiquing skills.

THE UNIT CULMINATES with a field trip called "Get off the bus." Students ride around the city visiting historical landmarks and architectural features of Chicago.
