Future City Project Graphic Organizer

Future City: Project Overview
In this project, you will create your own brand-new city of the future. As you complete each step of this project, you will finish a part of your final submission. In Unit 5, you will put all of the pieces together for an online presentation, such as a slide show or a written report.
If you choose a presentation, you can utilize as many different types of media as you would like.
Incorporating animation, images, sound, and other special features will add to the content of your online presentation.
Even if you choose a paper, you can still use various media (online pictures, hand-drawn sketches, three-dimensional model, etc.).
Project Objectives:
