An ancient wizard's hat, patched and frayed, is
placed upon a four-legged stool in the middle of
the school's Great Hall. This is the Sorting Hat,
and each new student is called, one by one, to
approach the stool and put on the hat. The
Sorting Hat is magically alive, you see, and its
job is to listen to each student's thoughts for a
few moments, trying to catch the note of his or
her true nature, and then to call out, through a
tear near the brim, which of the four residence
houses the student will call home. Each house at
Hogwarts has its own noble history and its own
unique character -- almost exactly fitting the
four temperaments, by the way -- and the Sorting
Hat makes sure that the personality of the
student and the character of the house are well
suited to each other.

So.. Where would you be put?

Oh no Hogwarts is expanding!

• Alert! Hogwarts has plans for more students than
  the 4 houses can hold!
• Your help is needed immediately to propose
  designs for new houses!

3
Help Professor Dumbledore

• Build a model for consideration
• Find the cost of the ideasHogwarts.xls
• Compare the costs of your ideas
• Ok
• NOW Professor Dumbledore is ready to create new
  houses for students. But he wants them to be
  like castles or fortresses! He gives you two
  beginning ideas.
