As part of our upperelementary classes we have been studying about famous towers in the Macmillan English Level 2 textbook. Unfortunately my students were not so excited by the tower topic so...
....I thought I'd set them a challenge in which each class had to design and build their OWN towers using only paper straws and sellotape (U.S. = scotch tape). They also only had one lesson (50 minutes) to complete the task!
This was the first time we've done something like this in class and I have to say that the results were way beyond my expectations. Well done to all the students!
