of a building. – It’s okay if your building’s exterior has collage on it.
• Work as a class to figure out where your building will fit and what sides will be exposed. This will be VERY important!!
• Use some printed photos of exterior elements (doors, windows, plants, signs etc).– Taking your own photos is strongly encouraged.
• Work as a class to arrange your buildings to create a small community
