Site Organization Charrette Directions: 1. Form 3 – 4 teams. 2. Tables have existing site plans, “puzzle pieces”, rolls of trace paper and some pens. 3. Move the puzzle pieces around on the site to explore different potential organizations. 4. Sketch, jot, note on trace paper thoughts and ideas. 5. Develop a concept that the team can share with the larger group. Don’t worry about making it look good – it’s the idea that counts! 6. Share out your group’s discussions and concept with the room. Remember, there are no wrong answers. Wauwatosa School District
