Classroom Activity

It's A Wonder!

After a classroom discussion of the Seven Wonders of the World, arrange the students in small groups and have them pretend they are a team of engineers commissioned to create a modern-day wonder for which cost is no object. Let their imaginations run wild; then have them make a presentation to the rest of the class, using mock-ups or drawings and a very brief written description of their project (tell them an outline will suffice). The next day, post all of the presentation sheets so that every "wonder" idea can be shared with all of your classes.
