Classes worked together in this project. Period 1 worked together to create an origami city. First, they brainstormed what they wanted their city to be like and then select students acted as City Planners to lead and "give work" to students in the class. City Planners were also in charge of quality control of the origami and made sure that only the best pieces were included in the city. There were also City Designers that set up the city in the display case.
...Little did they know that Period 2 was working all along to create something to take over their city! Period 2 worked together to brainstorm and select something to take over the city that Period 1 created. They researched different origami instructions, made prototypes, and the class voted on the best models. They then went into production mode and created many of the objects in multiple sizes. There were also Take Over Designers that set up the chaos and destruction in the city.
Period 2 at Davis Middle School chose Evil Monkeys and Creepers from Minecraft to take over Period 1's city.
Period 9 at Grizzell Middle School chose Zombies, King Kongs, and Godzillas to take over Period 8's city.

This was a fun project and a great way for the students to get to know each other, communicate, and collaborate.
