3. Explain that each group must build a model representing a place they frequent (home or school).
4. Guide them to highlight the main characteristics of the chosen place, such as colors, shapes, objects present, etc.
5. Encourage students to collaborate and share their ideas within the group.
6. After the construction, have each group present their model to the class, explaining the characteristics and why they chose to represent them that way.

Objective: Develop practical skills in model building, teamwork, and detailed observation of the spaces they frequent.

Duration: (30 - 35 minutes)

Evaluation Exercises

1. Draw your home and school, highlighting three main characteristics of each place.
