1. Computer Model Activity
In a group of 2-3 students, you will work together to create a replicate of a computer tower, showing the components on the front, back, and inside as we discussed in our class discussion.
Include all of the components that we discussed in our class discussion, a diagram can be found on the following slides
Label and write a description of each component before attaching it to the tower
Components should be as close to scale as possible and attached to the model as realistically as possible in the correct location
Neatness is a graded
Teamwork and communication will be judged by Mrs. Leatherman

Construction
Some but not all parts are identifiable and not made to scale
Most parts are identifiable but lack in scale
All parts are identifiable and closely made to scale
Likeness
Some, but not all components are in the correct location
Most of the components are in the correct location

Strategy, Teamwork and Neatness
Product is completed by one team member, lack of communication and is done in a neat manner
Teamwork is proficient enough to get the project done, participants communicated but didn’t work cohesively, moderate attempt at neatness
Participants worked equally hard on the project, there was strong communication and the finished product is neat and professionally made
