The Lesson:
  1. The teacher will begin to read the books and introduce the students about the Block Play, and during the book reading, the teacher will ask the students some questions about what is a building? Where did they see a building and what color or shape was it.  Then move on to show the children the different types and colors of the blocks, and the students can able to see the color and shape differences, feel the different texture and weight. Then the teacher will do the sorting activities with the students.
  2. Students may use the blocks to build, and the teacher will join and instruct them to do the counting of blocks for the height. And discuss with the students on the architecture skills they should focus on:
  1. Students can divide into groups and have a competition and use their imagination to design and build of the highest blocks tower. During the competition, the students can learn about architect skills and problem-solving skills, they will learn by using what kind of blocks (material) and how the structure will be the best. And by using the architecture skills, they can relate to the real world and also bring out the questions of why most of the building looks the same? How can earthquake (shaking) damage the building? What made a structure strong and stable.
  2. After the competition is completed, the students can study the winning prototypes together and analyze the reason of why is it the highest? What made the structure stable and strong. Then the student will each flat lay and build the blocks tower on the paper, and will use the crayon to trace it.
