Take news, use words.

Mrs. Loudin pulled down each cut out construct picture of the geometrical shapes off the rear bulletin board, carefully removed all the staples and smoothed down the edges of each picture and placed them in a manila folder labeled " the ten most common geometrical 3D images"; Mrs. Loudin then alphabetically filed the manila folder labeled 3D images in the shortest green filing cabinets at the rear of our classroom. Mrs. Loudin used the same cream colored paper for background as she began the new montage of pictures.

We had a worksheet on State capitals we were working on in our social Studies Class today. It had been six days since Byron Williams was shot at the convenience store on Lover's lane. Mrs. Loudin stapled each news article about Byron's death from the Beacon Journal on the new bulletin board. I watched her as I read about State capitals. There were a few tasteful pictures of Byron's Mother and his classmates at the funeral in the newspaper stories and Mrs. Loudin used a yardstick to make sure the pictures were aligned parallel to the floor and ceiling and at proper angles and distances from the sides of the bulletin board and the other newspaper articles.

It took Mrs. Loudin about fifteen minutes to finish the collage about the death of Byron Williams. Just before she finished the project Mrs. Loudin turned to all of our class and said " I prayed for Byron this weekend." I think that's when I first began to become a Christian.
