My project is a Diorama of Mordor. I decided to do a diorama because the settings in my book are very important, and I thought it would be cool to show a location in my book through my project.

Day 2: Today I went to the CCI to get wood for the base of my Diorama. After I got the wood I went to the art room and painted the base black. I will show my sketch to the art teacher, so I can plan out the rest of the stuff I need to do.

Day 3: I started making the cardboard sticks for support, and taped them to the board with some paper. I am using paper towels for the shape then I am going to use paper Mache.

Day 4: I covered more cardboard sticks with paper towel today. I'm going to cover all of them with paper mache once I'm done.

Day 5: I started covering my mountains with paper mache. I only need to do the small ones, then I will start with the big stuff. I am working with Ms. Walrod to help plan how to build the big stuff.

Day 6: I presented my mid-review today. after I presented I went down to Ms. Walrod's room , and talked with her about working on my project later in the day. I left Ms. Walrod's room, and did a mid-review reflection paragraph. The paragraph was the last writing piece of the project.

Day 7: Today I couldn't work on my project because Ms. Walrod had a big class. Ms. Cook said I should make a plaque. I went to the CCI, and I got help from Bobby.
