My goal for participation today within my team is…

Why I think my plan will be successful:

because it looks good and it will stay together

Our Group’s Plan <insert photo or sketch and/or type out the plan>

my plan!!!!!! 🙂

We chose this plan because…

my group didn’t want to do their plan

Possible challenges that may come up during construction…

we may run out of material

Each team member will be responsible for…

just helping put it together.

After the Build
