light at the end of the tunnel

There is less than 11 full days when I have to be in class. We are so close to the end of the year, but I feel like I have more work than ever. I have final projects in AP Euro, Spanish, and of course English. I have a pretty solid idea what I am going to do for my presentation. To start, I am going to summarize my paper and go over my thesis. My thesis is that fairy tales are applicable to todays time. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Next, I am definitely going with the idea I posted in my last blog about modernizing fairy tale characters. I am going to make worksheets with a picture of the fairy tale character and small summary of their characteristics in case someone is not familiar with them. Then after about five minutes within the group, I will rejoin the class and go around and discuss what they came up with. That should take around 7 minutes of the presentation time. Then I will link that to what I did for my project, I modernized The Ugly Duckling. Depending how much I have done on my project, will be how much I am actually going to be able to present about my project. That should fill up the remaining time.

Progress on my project is going slow. I am writing my fairy tale called The Ugly Dancer, a modernized tale of Hans Christian Anderson's The Ugly Duckling. I have a detailed outline of my story, so I know exactly where I am going with it. I have three pages fully written so far. I am hoping to finish up writing my story by this weekend. Then over the weekend I am going to take pictures for my story. Then, hopefully by next week I will put everything together. After that I will be done with high school English forever.
