My sixth grade Language Arts class was tasked with making a book.  We started with creating some imprints of leaves, flowers, etc with paints.  The next step was to create the actual book.  We had to cut out paper to make it fit in the book and paint the paper so that it would fit the theme of our book.  We got to collage it with the nature imprints that we painted and for example I created a portal into my world.  Other people did houses, trees, and other things like that.  Then we put our ideal world story and Cuento in the book. Overall it was very fun to make and with the help of an artist named Peg, she helped teach me and the rest of the class how to create the book. I loved this activity.

Earlier in the school year my Language Arts class read a book called The Last Cuentista together.  This book takes place a long ways into the future when a comet is going to hit earth soon.  The main character Petra and her family get on a ship into space where they are traveling to a new planet to escape the comet because it was going to destroy earth.  Petra gets to the new planet but her family gets purged before they make it so she is the only one left. On the new planet a group called The Collective tries to take over. Petra manages to escape the collective with her friends that she made there.  That is the story of the Last Cuentista in a nutshell.  I liked reading this book.

My 6th grade Language Arts class was assigned writing to do on a make believe world that we create. Right away I just thought of a sports planet with athletes as world leaders. I also came up with a currency of balandors as money. There was a main town called Soccer Town, the population is just under 700 million people. There are lots of things you can do in soccer town. The residents of soccer town like to go to a restaurant called Dribble Dribble Shoot. There are lots of restaurants but this one is the best. Dribble Dribble Shoot serves hamburgers, hot dogs, and my favorite soccer ball cake. There are 70 soccer fields in soccer town for all ages. On Goal St. there is the capital of the planet. This planet has a representative democracy government system. The leader of the executive branch is world famous Pele. But the thing about this democracy is that there are only 2 branches: Executive and the House of Representatives. The House leader is famous soccer goalkeeper Peter Shmichal. If you do something unlawful you are punished with a peaceful death penalty, the laws are the same as earth so you don’t have to restudy about the laws.

My ideal world even has a zoo called Jungle Zoo! In the front is the butterfly section, There is nothing new because they are all the same as earth. If you hold your hand out sometimes the butterflies will land on your hand! The rest is under construction because it was a new planet. The four seasons are just like Earth, Winter, Spring, Fall and Summer. During the Winter the average high temperature is 36 degrees fahrenheit and the low average temperature is 23 degrees fahrenheit. It occasionally snows during the winter. During the spring it rains a lot and the average high temperature is 58 degrees fahrenheit which helps for the flowers that are growing in the spring. The low average temperature is 49 degrees fahrenheit. During the summer it gets almost to 100 degrees fahrenheit every day. In the fall the leaves start to turn orange. The temperature does not go over 70 degrees fahrenheit.
