**LTG: Extreme Makeover: Ancient Edition**

 * Main Wiki:** http://ltg2010.wikispaces.com/

Students will work as teams and choose an ancient structure and civilization to research. They will create a 3D model of the structure in Google SketchUp. Students will create a character or choose a character from that time period to personify through a blog. Students will then 'petition' Extreme Makeover: Ancient Edition to help them rebuild the ancient structure for the 21st Century. They will petition in writing on their blog and then create a video to add to their blog.
 * The Project- Year 1**


 * STEPS**
 * 1) Recruit Students
 * 2) Choose Schedule
 * 3) Introduce Students to project

 * 5) Create student WikiSpaces
 * 6) Students research ancient structures individually
 * 7) Research is documented on their WikiSpaces page
 * 8) Introduce and watch "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
 * 9) Class discuss findings
 * 10) Students choose partners/teams and choose a structure
 * 11) Students create WikiSpaces page dedicated to their ancient structure
 * 12) Students research ancient civilization
 * 13) Students develop character based in the ancient civilization
 * 14) Students create WikiSpaces page dedicated to their character development
 * 15) Introduce WikiSpaces Blog to the students
 * 16) Students write autobiographical entry on blog to introduce their characters
 * 17) Students create a blog for journal entries as their character
 * 18) Develop questions/scenarios for students to blog as their character
 * 19) Introduce Google SketchUp
 * 20) Students work on creating 3D models of their ancient structure
 * 21) Students continue to document the 'building' of their structure in their journal blog
 * 22) Discuss why structure should be updated for the 21st Centure- what are the needs of the civilization, people to reside at structure, benefits to the update
 * 23) Students compose a letter or video to "Extreme Makeover" requesting help rebuilding their structure
 * 24) Students do initial research on sustainable architechture- features, what is 'designated green' architecture,
 * 25) Students create 'blueprints' of their future structure (digital or on paper to be scanned... these are sketches for future work)
