Back by unpopular demand: ME!!

No. I know everyone loves me. So, this post is about Star Wars! Well, our project on it. It was really cool. We had to pick a driving question, and base out project around that. But it had to be Star Wars related.

So, I love animals. So, of course, my question had to do with those things. “What Animals Were the Aliens In Star Wars Based Off Of?” Yeah, it sounds cool, right? It was! So, I worked really hard on it. I took a few select aliens, did some research on them, and tried to connect them to animals. It took a lot of editing, and I mean a lot! One of my best ones was about Gungans. You know, what Jar Jar Binks was. They’re so funny. Another good one I did was Wookies. Here it is:

Yes. So, I worked so hard on it, but then came the hard part. How was I going to present it? I thought about maybe a power point, but that would really work. The exhibit was more of a ‘walk around and see what you like’. No one had time to watch a power point! So I thought maybe a mobile? No, that would be so hard to bring in on the day, and where would I hang it? So I settled for a good old poster board.

So, it came to a few days before the exhibit. We had to design our little area to look like Tatooine. There were three things we had to have:

a) Decorations

b) Food/Drink

c) Entertainment

 

It proved difficult, as Tatooine is pretty much a barren landscape. But we managed. We had it seem like the bar, it was fun. We made Shirley Temples, which we called ‘Tatooine Sunsets”, and little tie fighter cookies:

 

It was cool. Our decorations were a table covered with black paper to look like a bar, with two stools. Then we had the two Suns, and orange paper over the lights. Our entertainment was supposed to be a Jedi Scavenger Hunt, but SOFIA forgot to hand them out! (I still hold a grudge to this day). We also dressed up, and Sofia made my hair into Princess Leia buns. Over all, it looked like this:

 

Yeah. Making the Tatooine Sunsets were hard! I had to bring in 8 LITERS of frozen orange juice! That’s a lot! James had to bring in eight liters of Sprite, which he only brought four of. Thank goodness Sofia brought in an emergency four liters. Phewf. Halfway through the exhibition, almost everyone had left Tatooine, and Quinn came in. He was dressed as Han Solo, and proceeded to chug anout five Shirley Temples, and acted drunk. I can officially say I got Han Solo drunk. Huh.

So, over all, the project went well! I’m really excited for when we do our larger project. It’s the same idea, but it doesn’t have to be Star Wars related this time. But I’m excited for that.

That’s for this post, so, as always

Read Ya Later, alligators!
