In homeroom I took a look at Rowley's project to see how much work was involved, and that's when I started to panic.
His repor tooked like it took a TON of time, and it was. pretty obvious his parents helped him with it of course Rowley had actually BEEN to the country he got assighed, so I'm sure that made it a lot EASIER for him.
I asked Rowley to be a pal and switch countries with me, but he's kind of selfish so he wouldn't gp for it, That meant I was on my own, and I only had a few hours to do my whole project from SCRATCH. And I didn't know WHERE I was gonna find a tri-fold board this late in the game.
That's when I remembered that I had a tri-fold in my LOCKER. I had started my country project the day after it was assigned. so I could get ahead_ with things for once. But, when pulled it out to see how FAR I'd got, I was pretty disappointed.
This project was 50% of my Social Studies grade, so I was desperate. I tried getting help rrom my CLASSMATES, but all THAT did was remind me I need to get some smarter friends.
I stayed indoors for recess to work on project. I didn't have time to go down to the library for research, so I had ato do a lot of GUESSING. The only thing I felt pretty sure about was that Malta was near Russia, bat I was pretty shaky on everything ELSE.
Once I finished filling out my tri-fold startad working on the OTHER stuff.
We were supposed to wear our country's "traditional dress" for the International showcase, on the way to lunch I picked out some clothes from the Lost and Found in front of the principal's office.
Luckily there were a few decent items in the box, and I put together an outfit that looked pretty convincing.
Everyone was supposed to bring in a traditional MEAL, too. At lunch I bought as many items as I could afford and threw something together that seemed like it might've come from another country.
