Gingerbread designs and scale model will be due Friday, after the break.

As a team, use the school floor plans printed to scale on the group table as well as the cad files posted to google classroom to design a gingerbread house. We need simplified elevations and plans to build a mock-up of your design at scale. Print outs are at 1/16" = 1-0". Doorways and elevator openings = 46"

1. Please make sure that all site models and houses for your models are ready to be laser cut and turned in Friday.
2. Continue working on the gingerbread house project.
- Divide into teams.
- Create elevations of each side of the building using the printed floor plans and plans shared in google classroom in AutoCAD.
- Draw the elevations at actual size: 1:1
- Figure out the height of the elevations using the large drawing set on the table.
- Have these ready for me to review on Friday.
3. Read chapters 4 and 5 of your textbook and define terms at the end of the chapter. I will create an assignment for this in google classroom. Due Friday.
