Please note that the local area images we used in the classroom have been removed from this version for
copyright reasons.
This purpose of sharing this presentation is to give an idea of the input that the students were given each week about the history of their local community and
the building styles and materials used in the area.
Look at these first buildings in the -- ------- area.
Think about...
• What kinds of buildings were the first ones built in the area?
• What materials are these buildings made of?
• What do they look like ...the roofs, the walls, the windows? Are the buildings symmetrical?
• Can we still see buildings like this today?
Now think about your Minecraft Community...
• You are the first people to move into the area since the Aboriginal people.
• What will you build first?
• What materials will you use?
• What shape will your buildings be?
