project
hey everyone!!
Well i just recieved this project at school. Im in 8th grade, and im studying "the road to revolution". This time period includes events such as the Tea act, boston tea party, stamp act, ect..
Well, we are usually suppose to draw a road down the cented of it, and write the info along the side of the road, but this year my teacher has decided to let us be creative.
Im NOT creative at all!! She said do something like a gameboard theme, but doing a road down the center would be just fine as well.
I would like to do something a little different for extra credit points.
I was thinking about something along the lines of the song Life Is A Highway, by the Rascal Flatts. Since it kinda has to deal with roads, and i could put the info in street signs, and random pictures from the movie cars, since Life Is A Highway was freatured in that movie.
My second idea would be doing something along the lines of the Rockin' Rollercoaster. Its in Disneyworld fyi.. I would have the guitar neck as the road, and the street signs would flash the information...
But i really have no other ideas. I like mine enough, but not really...
anything else will help and thanks for your time and effort!! :P

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
if you do go with the original road idea, in the earlier years you could make the road look like a grass path or something, then a dirt road, then gravel, then asphault in the later years. that idea actually kind of sucks, so don't listen to me. haha. you can do some sort of play on words- road, rhode island, rocky road ice cream, rode, erode, railroad, the song "hit the road jack", abbey road (an album by the beatles)... yeah, my ideas definitely suck, but it's better than nothing, right? another song could be "life in the fast lane" by the eagles. and another idea that goes along with the road signs, is that you can have them say the info like you said, and then on the sign where you would normally put "highway whatever", you can put "highway (year)". for instance, if it was the declaration of independence, then "highway 1776" or "route 1776" or something like that. speed limit signs, the green signs that tell you how far you are from stuff, and other random signs will make it look really cool. if you do the rockin' rollercoaster idea, make sure that you make it clear that you're basing the idea off of the rockin' rollercoaster because otherwise it will be slightly abstract-random. good luck!

I really lime your first idea!
You could also make a movie and have your friends help you act out things from different times in history. To make it creative, you can take the event and make it more modern, or make "subtle" references to it. For example, you could film a cooking show, and draw connections between what you are doing and how it relates to the revolution. Or you could just do the scenes exactly how they were.

I would do like a ladder, a mountain, or maybe a staircase. Hope I had some good advice. : )
