Operation Weight Deck
Thursday, April 26, 2012
On Monday, we split into groups, but were missing a few people. We decided to carry on without them and brainstorm ideas for the weight deck. I agreed to do the Gods Ares and Athena, Sean is doing the artwork, and we need lots of cardboard. On Wednesday we had the entire group of girls together, so we all checked out the weight deck and tried to visualize how we are going to turn this shabby weight deck into a Camp Half-Blood replica of the Percy Jackson series. We first took a good look at the floor and decided to sweep it up a little bit, but it turns out it still needs work.
We continued to brainstorm about many ideas including making a labyrinth out of cardboard, and then a huge labyrinth out of a big piece of fabric. Then we all picked a certain booth or space to work on. Sean has Dionysus and the satyrs, Katlyn has the three major Gods: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, Dani is in charge of recreating the attic where the prophecies have been heard, and I am in charge of making a booth for Athena and Ares. I have agreed to ask my church if I can borrow fake weapon, knowing that one of the themes in the Percy Jackson series is Battle, and I have also agreed to buying little toy soldiers.
Today I brought the fake weapons and put them into Ms. A's room. Katlyn said that she has sweeped the weight deck and Sean finished her job. We finally mapped out Camp Half-Blood with masking tape figuring out how everything is going to fit. Katlyn is going to talk to someone at the Extension Office to see if we can get big dividers for our cabins. We have talked about a huge cloth for our labyrinth, and maybe having Katlyn as the tour guide while the rest of us play different parts as nymphs, satyrs, or monsters to bring the camp to life. We are still searching for cardboard, paint, and maybe some fake grass. The lunch ladies said they will have huge boxes, which we will use for as our cardboard. We will need lots of paper to make our family tree of the Gods and Goddesses.
Otherwise its going pretty well, and I think if we keeping working and get all of our supplies we will be in good shape.
