Minecraft Task 1
Learn about and build a colonial house! Using the information in your colonial life packet, books from the library, and website links on this page, you will need to find out about the housing that specific colonies built. In Minecraft, you will need to build a colonial house (outside and inside) that is representative of the type of housing you found in your research of your specific colony.
Expectations for task 1 assignment:
Your colonial home must be made of the specific type of materials your colony's population would have used to build their homes:
4 walls made of a specific material (representative of your colony)
Roof made of a specific material (representative of your colony)
Specific amount of rooms inside your home
Housewares inside your home
The outside should have a yard indicative of the colony your home represents (farm, plantation, urban, rural, etc.)
*In conjunction with your built Minecraft home, you must have a written report describing housing in your colony. The report should be no more than 1 page typed. You need to fully describe the housing from your colony and the reasons why the colonists built that style of home.
*You will present your finished product at the end of the week and you and your partner will give an oral report about your home that you built in Minecraft.
