The students were assigned a class project to build a 3D model of Chicago's cityscape focusing on the city's history of architecture and landmarks. The model must include some of Chicago's most famous skyscrapers like the Sears Tower and John Hancock Building as well as other notable buildings representing different eras. Students will take on roles like project leaders, researchers, designers, and builders to accurately construct the diorama which will be displayed for others to see.

1. A class project focusing on learning styles, teamwork, and history. CHICAGO PLAN OF 2008

2. Chicago has been built on buildings

4. Now, you will build your own Chicago. Make it something inspiring, something to represent the history you’ll learn in the final 3 weeks of the year. This is as GREAT as you make it.

5. Project Requirements As a class, you will build a “cityscape” of Chicago. Must fit in the display case near locker banks, be 3-dimensional, and include a background. Nothing is allowed to be bought “pre-made.” Must be accurate and well detailed. (content) Must “show your work.” (process) Final “Cityscape” must meet all details on handout.

75. Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical plan, once written, will not die. - Daniel Burnham, Architect, Author of the Plan of 1909
