=Extreme Makeover (School Edition)=
 * In this unit we will design the school of our dreams.
 * We need lots of creative ideas, but we also need to know some things about architecture and building.
 * Let's start by watching this helpful video. Here's what to look for:
 * Why did the architect choose steel for his building?
 * Why did he make a huge window?
 * Why did he make the cone shape on the top of the building?
