It didn't take long to decide what to do. They wanted to build Seaburius, after the made-up city in their auction movie. Some kids went right away to adding roads and laying the plan out, while others built.
Each day, new items were being added or removed. One day they wondered about a power station. Another day they decided the city had enough money to build a casino. After awhile, a need for a neighborhood came up. Bringing in people to the city also brought in a cemetary and even a mausoleum! The Sharks had to negotiate their wants and needs for football stadiums, stores, parks, and a transalantic tunnel to the castle. The builders had to take in account the size of their building and roads.
This project went on for a couple of weeks, engaging in the building process for hours!
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Even though the "final" product was never completed, the skills and concepts incorporated in the arts, social studies, math and cooperation will carry over to future lessons.
