This year in social studies our local seventh graders were to build an artifact or display item for their "Medieval Museum". This was a big assignment which also contained some written assignments, and extra points offered for bringing a parent to see the museum. There was one hard glitch in this assignment, and that was that they couldn't do any weapons. Apparently their teacher thinks they should be able to, but the school board says No. That makes this a bit more difficult assignment for a seventh grade boy, because when you're talking about Medieval times, weapons are the most/only interesting part.
Fuller decided that he wanted to construct a manor out of clay and sticks. It turned out much bigger and more interesting than I thought it would. And although he did some SERIOUS procrastinating on getting started, he ended up putting some good time and effort into it.
I thought it was great! And apparently his teacher did too, because he got a really good grade on it.

Wow! I would hope that he got a great grade on this because it looks awesome! Way to go!
They must have changed the rules since last year because Tyler made a catapult that shoots marshmallows. That is definitely a weapon.
Good Job Fuller! You would fit right in with our 8th grade social studies fair.
Very impressive!
