There's not a better way to understand the power and importance of a community than taking part in creating one yourself. Towns and cities around the world are filled with incredibly diverse neighborhood blocks --so why don't we let the students design their own? By incorporating geometry, writing, and organizational design skills students can do just that, build their own city block. ***THIS RESOURCE IS NOW DIGITAL for DISTANCE LEARNING*** See below for more details on using it with Google Slides. Building My Block is a project based learning activity that asks students to design their own block and build it. This STEM-infused PBL combines cross-curricular concepts and allows students to create a city block that is completely their own. This project based learning activity focuses on pushing students to create and design while using math, writing, and design skills while applying problem solving techniques and collaborating with others. It allows for easy differentiation, so students can work at a pace they will be successful at. There are steps and procedures to assist students through this project, but the work and results will be determined by their ideas that each students adds. There are five sections of this PBL (and when connected) allow for students to apply multitude of skills and concepts into a project that connects with the world around them. Teachers have the options (and total control) of choosing which section of the resource they would like to complete. Teachers can mix and match all sections to fit needs of their classrooms. This PBL does not have to use all sections to be completed. The project is broken into five sections: Introduction In this portion of the project students will work to learn and understand how neighborhoods and communities around the world function and differ, based on where they are located. The students discuss their own communities and why they are important using this time to collaborate and discuss many different elements that make neighborhoods and communities unique. History In this portion of the PBL, students will choose buildings they would like for their blocks. Plus, they’ll create the history of the buildings they are creating. This will include how old the buildings are, what they represent, and even people that live in them. This section focuses on creative writing with a written history and creating the history of the community/building. Building Buildings: Students will design a 3D model of their BLOCK. Their BLOCK will include at least three structures/buildings such as apartments, shops, banks, or other structures that are part of a community. Students create blueprints for three different structures first as rough drafts, then as a larger and final version. The blueprints will connect to the final portion of the project...building their block. Up To Code: This section of the PBL will be completed at the end when they look back at their structures and pull out math concepts from their buildings. There are portions that look at identifying vocabulary, applying geometry skills, understanding area/perimeter, and recognizing how critical math skills are in designing and building. This portions includes a heavy emphasis on geometry skills and understanding area and perimeter. Examples: Included are over ten pages of examples for creating the 3D versions of the city blocks. These examples start with the structures, roofs, and block. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: 9 About this Resource & Instructions 13 Building My Block, cover page 14 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION 15 Brain Storm: Students brainstorm what they know about neighborhoods and blocks in cities and towns. 16 Structures: Students categorize different types of building structures found around towns. 17 Vocabulary: Students write or illustrate the definition for 24 vocabulary words related to towns/cities. 19 Power of Communities: Students answer open-ended questions about communities. 21 My Town: Students write about their own town; including what it’s like and what makes it unique. 23 SECTION TWO: HISTORY 24 Pick Three: Students choose three buildings that they will create for their city block. 26 Creating a History: Students develop a backstory for each building (year built, owners, current business, etc). 29 Written History: Students write a narrative story using (or adding to) information they shared on the previous page. 31 SECTION THREE: BUILDING BUILDINGS 32 Info and How-To: This includes four pages of directions for Building Buildings with examples and illustrations. 36 Requirements List: Students must list 10 items to be included for each building they design. There are three pages of this Requirements List. (They all look the same, but are for each of the three individual buildings.) 39 Item Illustrations: Students design single elements of the building and will list math terms they can identify within their sketches. There are two pages for each building. 45 Rough Draft: Students create a rough draft for all three of the buildings they are creating. 46 Final Version: Students design their final (larger) version of each building. 49 The Block: Students design the block (this is the base) for the buildings to stand on. 50 Additional Sizes: There are three additional sized STRUCTURES included. These have the SAME base, length, and width--but the height varies. Students may use these in place (or in addition) to their block. -The varying height size will give the block a different look and style. Students may use them to stack on top of existing buildings or whatever else they can think of. 54 Roofs: This single page of five roofs can be used for any additional structures students create. 55 SECTION FOUR: UP TO CODE 57 Area and Perimeter: Students must find the area and perimeter of items they list on their Requirements List for each building. 60 Geometric Design: Students identify math terms on their buildings. This can be changed to identifying geometric/math terms on other students’ blocks if the teacher chooses. 61 Fraction Of Space: Students find the area on the front of the buildings then create fractions for the amount of space that item takes up. 62 SECTION FIVE: EXTENSION and EXAMPLES 63 Interior Design: Students can create the interior of the buildings or base of their block. 64 3D Items: Students will want to add the little details to their city. This shows them how to add smaller three dimensional items using graphing paper. 68 Rubrics and Reflection: Students can complete their own reflection of the project. Teachers have two options for rubrics, a single point scale and the more traditional 5 point scale. 72 Examples: Included are examples of a variety of buildings and blocks. These can be projected on white boards for students to visualize what their city blocks will look like. Materials Needed -paper -card stock or regular paper (for Building the Block) -crayons, colored pencil, markers -scissors -tape and glue Measuring Units: Building the block The measurement used for this project will be a single unit per cube. -You may choose to increase complexity by making each cube worth more. Use this with students to easily differentiate. -Example: 1 square = 3 units or 1 square = 5 units -There are no feet, yards, or meters. Time Frame The time frame for completing this project will vary. If you are planning on completing it in a week, give 45-60 minutes per day--but it still could take longer, depending one how deep you want students to take this. Time can vary based on many factors. One area that may take longer is when student design and build the block. Once students understand how it works and is put together, they may try to take it to another level (which is encouraged). ***THIS RESOURCE IS NOW DIGITAL!*** ACCESSING THIS DIGITAL RESOURCE There are two pdf files included in the zip file.

For this printing project, students were asked to research a famous structure and create a styrofoam printing plate highlighting it within a cityscape. We created a watercolor background showing sky meeting water. The plates were then printed 2.5 times across the horizon line and then reflected in the water below before re-inking. These look great all lined up together!
