Flag Towers!

Today students had a mini lesson on the history of flags. Students then designed an individual flag on a post it note. Next, students working in pairs were given 15 large note cards, a yard of tape, a paper clip, and a pair of scissors. Their challenge was to get their "flag" as high on a tower as they could. All students were able to complete the task, and a few groups were even able to get their flag over the 34 inch mark. Our last step was writing a reflection letter on the students new netbooks. Well done Champions!
