Students commenced building almost immediately today. Firstly, they had to decide what buildings from both their design plans they wanted to keep. For the students using minecraft who were in a group of four this required quite a bit of consultation but eventually all students collaborated and agreed on their final design. The class worked extremely well together and quickly picked up the measurement tools necessary to build to scale. A few students built a wall around their school area without checking the size and ended up with walls that were nearly 500m long. That is a big campus!! They needed to recheck their sizing and start again or adjust their build according to plan specifications.
The students using minecraft are skilled builders and therefore are building in survival also to scale. They have been mining for their resources and have already selected and cleared their arid biome to reflect Afghanistan geography.
Next week we check our plans and buildings against the UNICEF Child Friendly Schools criteria.
