Bridges
Coming up:
Bridge Tour
Now that you have completed your research, your drawing and your plan, you are ready to build your bridge in Minecraft. One of the requirements will be to add education blocks along the way describing not only parts of the bridge, but also the history and the special facts on your bridge. Today each person in your group will write a tour script using the information from your research and plan. Each education block of “tour stop” should have at least one paragraph of relevant information. You should have a minimum of 5 education blocks. You grade will be determined by the quality and quantity of your blocks.
Your assignment is in STEAM Google Classroom, you can click on the link above to view it, but the assignment must be completed in Google Classroom. Due Date is Friday, April 17, 2015 Drop Dead Date is Friday, April 29, 2015
