In science we are making model volcanoes. Here is the process
Building it
To build it, we were given a milk bottle, a cardboard sheet, news paper, and a water and glue mixture. We were told to paper mache the milk bottle into a volcano shape. Easier said than done. I struggled for the entire period, making an only mediocre looking volcano, that I then was told looked good!? I don't know. Anyway, we left it to dry over the long weekend.
Painting it
Yesterday, we were painting it. There was a trolly full of art supplies and we were set loose. (*Insert evil grin here*) My group painted our volcano grey, before adding metallic paints, because, shiny, and then red spilling from the top as lava. It surprisingly looks good. I will now believe people telling me it looks good.
In English we are looking our Essay for the story Children of Blood and Bone. We were put in groups to brainstorm about how we wanted to answer the Essay question, Describe a key event in the text. Explain how that event changed an important character. Here is what we came up with
Our Key event is When Zelie, Tzain, and Amari entered into the ship fight and won, getting the sunstone.
The character we chose was Amari, and the changes we found was: she becomes stronger, she becomes less afraid, the thought of the lioness was sitting inside her brain, and slowly subconsciously making her stronger and more powerful, she faced her fear of killing, and she stops being 'a prissy little princess, and becomes a fighter.
