This is a super fun project I've done each year with my ESL classes but it would be perfect to do with any with middle school or high school students! In this packet, students will complete a plot diagram for the story, identify a spot where a critical error was made (there are a few to pick from so everyone's stories will be different!) and then create a NEW plot diagram starting from that point! This helps the students create an alternate ending! *Need a follow up activity? Read the original 1902 version of 'To Build a Fire" and compare it to the better known remake from 1908!*

The Area and Perimeter Floor Plan Project, as a form of project-based learning (PBL), offers several distinct advantages in the realm of education. Firstly, this project provides a practical application of mathematical concepts. By engaging in the design and creation of floor plans, students are able to directly apply their knowledge of area and perimeter in a real-world context. This hands-on approach helps students understand the relevance and significance of these mathematical concepts, bridging the gap between theory and practical application. Secondly, the Area and Perimeter Floor Plan Project promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students are tasked with designing rooms of various shapes and sizes, requiring them to analyze the space available and make informed decisions about the dimensions. They must consider the relationship between area and perimeter, and strategically allocate space to meet specific requirements. This process encourages students to think critically, make calculations, and problem-solve effectively to create functional and aesthetically pleasing floor plans. Additionally, this project fosters creativity and personal expression. Students have the freedom to design their own unique floor plans, allowing them to tap into their imagination and showcase their individuality. They can experiment with different room layouts, explore innovative ideas, and express their personal preferences. This creative aspect of the project encourages students to think outside the box, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in their work.
