Mr. Latimer, my geometry teacher, gave Ali Ahmed, Jobe Naff, and me an assignment. Similar to almost all the group benchmarks I had, we had the opportunity to choose our group members. Our assignment was to create a mini-lesson, and the topic for each group varied. Our topic was 2-D Art, which was simple and straightforward. In addition to the mini-lesson (which could have been a keynote, powerpoint, or a regular whiteboard-like lesson), each individual was to create a pamphlet/brochure that could be used as a possible handout informing any reader about the topic to which they were assigned.

Mr. Baird assigned us a difficult but interesting task. In a group of our own decision, we had to organize and create a festival for Per-Wadjet’s (village now known as Buto) 3000th Anniversary for its Summer Solstice. But to make this festival even more special, the king at the moment, King Tutankhamun (King Tut) is the royal guest. We are not only satisfying His Royal Highness, but also the villagers of Per-Wadjet, who will also be attending.

In Spanish 1 in the first quarter, Don Marcos told us to each create a travel guide. The travel guide was to help and educate a tourist visiting a foreign Spanish country. The brochure was to not contain anything from the English language, but only composed only of Spanish. So how was the tourist going to be able to learn anything from a brochure that only had Español and the traveler spoke anything BUT Spanish? Well, by visual aids, of course! For example, in my brochure, I have the phrase: Buenos Diez. Next to that phrase, an arrow coming from Buenos Diez would point to a depiction of dawn. Would you know what that phrase meant?
