Top 11 Tallest Buildings


Draw your plan for a tall building.  What shapes and forms will you use?





Try to make your model of a building beautiful and strong.

Which is stronger, a square or a triangle?

What will make your model look more interesting?

Tall buildings often become symbols of their city.
Imagine your building design as a symbol of your city.

The teacher will take a picture of your building.
After the photo you may have choice time.
Always put away what you are using before getting anything else.
