====Once you are placed in your groups by the design team, you will discuss who will complete what rooms. It is very important to talk with your other group members to make important decisions about the height of the ceiling, how big the house will be, what form of measurement (feet or inches), and making sure who is constructing what rooms. The design team is not requiring that you make an actual house but to draw it on paper. For example, in class we have learned about the length and width of a rectangle, you need to label those things in your drawing. You will need to label the length of the walls and the lengths and widths of the objects in the room. For your convenience, the design team said that the objects in the room are to be rectangles or squares. Once you have that completed you need to find the area and perimeter of the room and the objects in the room. On a separate sheet of paper show your calculations for the area and perimeter. Be sure to ask your group members for help if you need it, but Ms. Robinet can also help.==== ====Be sure to leave a opening in your drawing for the door. Drawings do not have to be life-like but are to be done on grid paper (recommended) or regular paper. Try to put one room on one piece of paper, that way it is large enough for others to see. Just remember that you can do as many drafts as you want before your final draft because you will show it in front of class and it needs to be readable. So try to not scribble or rip the paper. Remember this is for a special family, we need to make sure it is nice and presentable for them. Everyone will present their own drawings of their rooms.==== ====After you have everything completed think about what you would like the other designers to know, think about what you would say to them about your room. I would recommend practicing with your other group members and at home. You must tell us about your room you designed.==== ====The Crew has included some websites to help with the production of the house; they are included in the Resources page, which is to the right. It is important to know that these are resources to help you, not to be copied. Please ask Ms. Robinet if you have any questions.====
