Problem-Solution Text Structure

by Estormeo Serena

Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions.
Students will make a 3D model using TinkerCAD of their solution on how to protect a house from massive destruction during an earthquake. The concept and technology of the seismic protection systems will be applied to their models.
