Sanitation & Power Woes

Students are well into working on building their virtual cities.  It is so amazing to hear comments like, "What do you mean sanitation's a problem," and, "Mrs. Strickland, how high is TOO high for taxes?"  The students have certainly been getting frustrated, but also seem to be really enjoying the project.

We have also decided on a solar powered monorail as the main transportation of our model city.  Students brainstormed ideas, shared those thoughts, and then voted.  Next week, we will begin writing our essay that must be submitted to the competition about our transportation choice.

Here are some photos of students building their virtual cities this week:
