This project is great for upper elementary grades. Students make a symmetrical city following specific guidelines on the rubric.

Measurement skills are also used when students create their cities.

It allows for adaptation (using just the graph paper or making the city on larger paper) and is a fun end of the year project when you need to keep the students engaged. It is also a great assessment and very easy to grade!

Included are the directions, helpful tips, rubric, graph paper, and sample projects.
