Students will be placed in groups of 5 people. Each person will choose a job to do for their construction company. The majority of the work will be completed in class. Once in a while, you may have to finish up whatever was not done in class.

HW:
During this project, I recommend that students spend time reviewing each chapter in the book in order to prepare for the final exam. The chapter summary and chapter tests are good resources, as well as the publisher's website (www.glencoe.com).

During this project, I recommend that students spend time reviewing each chapter in the book in order to prepare for the EOCT and the final exam. The chapter reviews in the book are a good resource. I will have one more EOCT practice for you to work on during this time also.

Note: EOCT will be on May 9th and 10th. We will put our bridge project on hold during this time.
