Description
This is an exciting activity for the students in the classroom and homework. You can ask your students to build some architectural house/building/ monument using waste materials, such as sticks, leaves, cardboard, newspapers, bottles, etc. They must use only materials that are found in their surroundings. They must come up with a structure the next day and explain what they made, and the materials used to develop it—also listing the materials used for building the structure. The structure with the best architectural design will be considered the winner.
Procedure on how to put in practice
The students can take any type of object from their surroundings and try to build a structure from it.
They can play with their imagination and build an unconventional architectural building.
