Lucille Ball

Kamryn has done so many fun projects over the years, but this one was probably my favorite!  For AP Language, Kam had an assignment to pick any famous person and read their Biography.  Learn all about them, become the person, and today she will present.  Kam was so excited to choose Lucille Ball for this project.  I often tell Kam how I remember watching old 'I Love Lucy' episodes with my Grandpa ... they were so great.  Lucy is an icon and such a genius comedian!

After reading her entire biography, Kam was so excited to present today.  Her props were a Retro TV she made out of a cardboard box (I'll get a picture later), a bottle of Vegameatavegamin, and a bunch of chocolates to hand out (to represent the best episode of her working in a chocolate factory). 
Kam has one minute to give a speech on the life of Lucille Ball and then the class can ask questions.  She has to describe the hardships in her life and how she overcame them.  Also she has to pick three words that describe her and explain why.  What better way to learn than this?  So much better than writing and turning in a report on someone. 
Kam was totally into the character this morning.  I'm sure the curly updo, fake eyelashes, high heels and bright red lipstick helped.   Kam has watched a bunch of I Love Lucy episodes and clips to get ready for today.. here she is "acting" like she's crying.
I know she'll do fantastic!  I'm excited to hear about all the other characters in class.  I'm so proud of Kam's teachers for being creative in their teaching and making school so much fun!
Love this girl!

I always loved lucy, unfortunately with her being my role model, I got into trouble a few times. :)
Kam gets an A+ for costume alone!
What fun
