THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION by ZOE ENG

Zoe shares her secret in creating her museum masterpiece:  

In powerpoint I went to insert SmartArt and chose a shape that looked like a timeline. Then I went to google images and found a picture for each event in the American Revolution. These events were included in the American Revolution section of the reading.

MEDIEVAL TROLL CASTLE by NICHOLAS NG

               This is my Lego Medieval Troll Castle. It resembles a castle from the Middle Ages. Castles from the late Middle Ages were built with stone just like this one. You can tell right away that this is from the Medieval Times because of the way it looks and the way it was built. I rebuilt some broken parts of the castle and connected the different castle sets I had. Then I put all the troll soldiers I could find to guard my castle. Now that I modified my castle, it became a true medieval fortress.                 - Nicholas

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA by GRACE LEE

The Great Wall of China is tall,

It will never fall.

The distance is far,

I might need a car.

If I go to the top,

I might find a shop.
