7p4-cardboard project

Are you working by yourself or in a team? I am working with a team of three.

What materials will you need for your project? Cardboard, tape, paper clips, etc.

What is your plan to create in this project? My plan is to create a city with lights and buildings, and some skyscrapers.

What unique qualities will your project have to separate it from other peoples’ projects? We will have big skyscrapers, and billboards with references.

Step 1: We first created a drawing of what we are going to make, then we cut out a base for our project. we also started making the first buildings.

Step 2: We finished making the buildings and built the start of the roads. We also made billboards for our town.

• Using cardboard, I created A city. I did this because it was a fun idea, and it would be something different. I had a lot of fun with this project.

• During this process, I learned that making a city was more time consuming then we thought. We ended up having to scrap a lot of ideas that we were going to do. In the end, it was a successful project.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Knowledge Constructor because we used a lot of the information we already knew to build the city. We didn't need to look up how to do anything, we just used what we knew to build it.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was finding out where to put everything. I was able to do it by mapping everything out, which was a great help. We ended up mapping more things as we went.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change The time consuming parts. The reason why I would change it is because we took a long time in making something that we could have done more in. If we made it differently, we could make more in a week.
