Defend the Fort: Part 2

Defend the Fort Part 2: Defense Supplies

Each student was given a budget of $3,000 and costs of items to decide on a plan for defending our fort. Then the class voted on which plan would defend our fort the best. This plan would then be used to create our defense plan. 

Costs of the defense supplies

Our class created an attack plan on the Magnetists class using their map to determine where we would enter. These plans were evaluated to see which class was victorious.

Writing Stories

This week in peer mentoring, the Electricianeers helped their friends begin writing a story. 

This group was writing a story called "The Getaway". It is about people that wanted to get away from their house because there were a lot of bad people there. 

This group was writing a story about themselves and what they were about.

The group of girls were writing about a snake that liked bananas. 

The front group was writing about a Halloween story.

The back group was writing a story about their buddy.

We will continue story writing next week!
