After a long two weeks without much work, our class was introduced to Rome, which meant sometime soon we would have to do a project. Many of us were not sure what our project for this class would be like, but we all knew that it was going to be an interesting one, being in Ms Willemse’s class. Quickly after doing some research on Rome, we were introduced to many of Rome’s famous people, including Caesar, Antony, and many more. Each of us were then assigned groups. I was put in a group with  all boys, which was quite surprising. Our project was to create a cut out image of a famous hero from Rome. I know what your thinking, our group was horrendous because we had no girls to settle us rowdy boys down, but it actually turned out reasonably well. I thought together we worked hard and put in our hardest effort creating our cut out image of myself. 

Starting out, we were given pens to create a drawing of a person. We chose Quinn to be the cut out since he was the smallest child. We traced him on a piece of red construction paper, but someone was dumb enough to rip the paper, so we were back to square one. The first cut out of Quinn was pretty terrible anyway, so we were quite happy to restart. The main reason we failed to show our tracing ability was because of Quinn laughing about the pen rubbing against his legs and stomach. So this time we chose me, because I was the least ticklish. It took longer because I was taller, but we handled it well. 

We finished tracing! But now we have to draw on the body. These drawings would consist of pictures drawn on a certain part to represent something. For example, since we did one of Julius Caesar, we put a  wreath to represent leadership and courage. We all worked hard finding finding images of swords and maps, but we left out one huge problem, the notes. We had worked so hard on our creation that we forgot to write a script. Many of us were exhausted, so that left me to study the notes and create an alright script about Julius Caesar.

The presentation ended well and the final project looked something like this –

 
This took two whole blocks to complete and consisted of many notes and a few pictures to spice things up a bit. I thought our group despite having to work with all boys, we worked well and consistently sorted the problems and found answers.
