School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

Tanks for the mammariesI did a project on World War I tanks when I was about 12 or so.
The workshop my Dad was in also had a stack of musty old 'Mayfair' magazines from the '70s and '80s hidden down underneath one of the old woodworking benches.
Now, as an enterprising young chap, I knew quite a lot about the contents of these, and at the time they included actual serious articles, short stories and the like. (for any other children of the '80s, they were the ones that had the yellow card paper in the middle with the dirty stories in).
One of the jazzmags happened to have a five page article about WWI tanks, which I half-inched. However, it turned out that cutting out the photos of the tanks and gluing them into my project wasn't the best idea.
It took a while, and wasn't obvious at first, but after a few days the glue seeped through the magazine pages and you could clearly see (if you knew what you were looking at) the nekkid ladies on the other sides of the photos. I realised this when I got the project back, post-marking.
