Oben formen!

Allen had an assignment for German class that entailed listing 20 things from a story. The assignment did not specify in what format the 20 things were to be presented. Allen wanted to find an unusual and coll way of presenting them, and the number 20 sparked an idea. He remembered that one of the regular solids had 20 sides, and then looked it up on the Internet. He found the icosahedron, and a template for making one. He then enlarged the template, put the 20 things on it, and then (with some assistance) taped it together. For display purposes he attached a three-corded string with the German flag colors! Voila! A very creative presentation of the assignment. When he brings it back home I will get a picture and replace this generic icosahedron. Sometimes I am so proud of my boy!
