Student Showcase-Karlisle Scott:

" Hello my name is Karlisle here is my drawing/maps " What inspired me was when Mademoiselle Gibson my teacher gave a project for which you could make either rural, urban or suburban city to demonstrate the differences to my classmates. What I used was my markers and some pencil crayons to make the maps. The people who helped me are my friends Alexander, Umair, Asher, and a bit by Logan and my sister Sydney. It is important because we worked so hard on it and started with something small that grew to something big and it's cool that with starting with one person it expanded to about 10 people. What I will do next is maybe think of ways that I can do the drawings and more creative and better. Thank you bye.
