April 2-6: Ancient China Student Choice Projects

So we have been on the computer a lot. We want to get you time to step away for a little and do something entertaining and show off your creative talents.
For the rest of the week, you are going to build or create 3 different projects and you get a choice of these 4 ideas:
1- an ancient Chinese Scroll with beautiful scenery
2- a replica Great Wall of China that looks protective
3- a model Catapult following ancient Chinese tactics
4- a decorated Chinese lantern
Now, there are directions and some ideas to help you construct these but the creativity portion is totally up to you. These can be as big (especially the wall!!!!) or average sized objects as you have. DO NOT GO BUY MATERIALS FOR THIS. Use things you already have around the house.
You must fill out the slides each day so that we know you are staying with the pace of the due date on Monday. Check out the slideshow for more information.
