With the lists you have created, we are going
to create a class glossary. This glossary is
going to help you with today’s activity. Each
group will continue to share until no one has
anything left to add to the glossary

We will take volunteers first but if we get


no volunteers, groups will be called on
randomly.

shapes.
Instructions
You are expected to make an estimation of the wonder.
Do your best at finding and naming shapes. It does not
have to be exact or include every detail, but we should
be able to tell what it is supposed to be.

We also want you to try to estimate the size of your


wonder based off of historical facts. Meaning you would
have to give your shapes lengths and measurements. If
this is too complex or impossible to do, please make your
shapes in a 1 inch scale.
Instructions Cont.
We need a list of all shapes used. Below we have linked a
table for you and your group to work on together during
the creation of your estimation.

This document will need to be filled out and finished. It is


due at the end of this project and will be turned in with
the rest of your work.
Instructions Cont.

The estimations you make about your wonder need to be


able to be presented or displayed. You have a few
options when it comes to this, you can draw it, use
technology to draw or create it or make a 3D
sculpture/diorama.

This display will be apart of your final project.
