An Authentic Illustration

Meet Jacob.

Jacob does not normally look like this, but for the sake of his "tribe", he gave us an authentic illustration to go along with one of his topics, which, not surprisingly, is tattoos.

As readers of this blog know, we've been studying various California tribes. Room 8 has been divided into 'tribes' and each tribe has done research on various topics and created a poster. Each student had to write a paragraph and create an illustration for each of their topics. Friday, we began giving the presentations. Jacob asked me if he could do this, I said 'no' but he didn't hear me. Next thing I knew, in he came from the bathroom, black pen in hand. In my shock, I didn't check to see if this had been created with a permanent pen. Who knows, he may still be tattooed on Monday!

We had MANY students absent Friday, at least one from all but one tribe. So I only took one group photo. Branndon suggested we wait for photos until everyone was here. Excellent suggestion, Branndon!

Here's the Hoopa tribe:Emily, Mary, Macey, and Casey O.
