Chicago Plan Of 2008

A class project focusing on learning styles, teamwork, and history.

CHICAGO PLAN OF 2008

Chicago has been built on buildings

These buildings have afforded our cityPlaces to live.Places to work.Places to visit.Places to be inspired by.And places to wonder.

Now, you will build your own Chicago.

Make it something inspiring, something to represent the history you’ll learn in the final 3 weeks of the year.

This is as GREAT as you make it.

Project Committees

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's

blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in

hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical plan, once written,

will not die. - Daniel Burnham, Architect, Author of the Plan

of 1909
