Silhouettes
Today in class we made silhouettes continuing our study of life in the American Colonies before the revolution. One of the things that colonists did, because most people couldn�t afford to have a portrait made by a painter was have their silhouette done. I�m fighting the loosing battle of making Social Studies interesting but it�s far from being the best thing since wrestling.
So, we made these silhouettes and making silhouettes is the hardest thing I�ve done as a teacher. I had to get six ten-year-old boys to sit still long enough to trace their shadows.
It�s a feat of genius that they look like the boys at all, but I think they�re freakishly good.
