1. You want the government to invest in your design for all first home buyers 

2. Create a one page persuasive presentation and justify the features of your house.

3. Sketch an architecturally accurate model of your design and annotate, explaining (annotating) each aspect

• What will it do? How? Why? 

• Why have you made these decisions?

• How it will reach the targets? 

• How will it help with cost of living and the impact of large scale farming and food production?

• Why are you growing these at home rather than relying on farms? 

• How does this impact biomes? (eg: Bird netting to prevent birds eating crops but not killing the birds? 

Write on the board

1. What did you find the most difficult today?

2. What is something that you discovered?

Successes

• Transferring of information - they are talking to each other across groups about their projects and choices
• Asking questions

Challenges

• They will definitely need an extra week to finish

• Limited knowledge of how their designs could benefit and/or protect biomes

• Still surface level knowledge but they are learning more from each other
