Recycled Materials:

• boards

Students will be asked to sketch a block of houses.  They can draw from their neighborhood or they can find neighborhoods online.  They can also draw completely from their imagination.  They need to decide what their houses will be shaped like, look like and how many they want to make.  They will be required to make no less than 3.  

They will then start creating their houses.  They will draw their house shapes onto cardboard and cut them out.  They can then decorate them however they want in order to create the images they made on their sketches.  They will need to construct and glue their houses and paint their boards if they'd like, within two class periods.  The following class period they will need to figure out ho to attach their houses to their boards.  They can experiment with scraps of cardboard to figure out how the pieces should be attached.
