Third grade just can't get enough castles! This is a project I have actually done every year because the students love it so much and ask if they are going to get to do it. I gave them the option since we already drew castles and they overwhelmingly voted to build them. Students learned how to turn a flat, 2-D piece of paper into a 3-D form and let their imagination go from there. Many of them even figure out a way to make a working draw bridge! I've even had working catapults added to the grounds, and torches and fire places added inside. We talk about architecture, and engineering through building a structure that stands and solving problems as they arise.
