What was the most fun school assignment you got?

Question

What made it fun? Did you do well?

Answer 1

We actually got to spend the day at Cedar Point, which is an awesome amusement park, for my Physics class in high school. It was pretty cool, we got to do experiments on the rides.

Answer 2

The school sent me and a friend to work for British Airways at Heathrow Airport for a two week work experience assignment, this was back in 1988 when we were about 15. We had tours of everything they had to offer, including a Concorde that was having some maintenance work carried out on it in a service hanger. The flight crew taught us the basic instrumentation, the throttles and afterburner controls, there was too much to mention really....it was seriously superb.

Most of the other kids had been sent to stores and car garages etc etc local to the school, so we really did get a sweet deal.

Answer 3

A student at another school was a philosophy freak, he bragged and yakked all day long about how smart he was and where he was going.
So, my vice principal, knowing that I studied Sun Tzu, religiously, set up a 100 question essay for both of us. The school that won would get a 5 day trip paid by the other school to the San Juan Islands. Each principal would draft up the test for their own student.
I got all hundred right, He got 12 right.

Answer 4

When I was in my third semester of college I had to take either an arts or a science course. I chose to take a class called Musical Pioneers. For the major assignment of the semester, you had to team up with a partner and do a presentation on a musical artist of your choice and explain why they are considered vital.

My partner and I ended up doing our presentation on the Ramones. and we figured that since they were silly and weird, we had to do something silly and weird. So my partner pretended to be the host of a hip TV entertainment show, like something you would see on MTV. I donned a black wig, my leather jacket, and Ramones t-shirt and pretended to be Joey Ramone and we staged an interview. I even tried to talk with a New York accent in a pathetic attempt to make it look believable, but it didn' work. The class loved it though and we got an A.

Answer 5

My Junior year of high school I took a fashion marketing class.
That was probably the only class I took in HS that had any relevance to my life, since Fashion Marketing was my major.
Anyway, everyone in the class had to do a project on the history of some part of fashion. It was mainly lame stuff like, "history of shoes", or "history of the tuxedo", but I got "history of body modification".

I've always loved body mods, but I really didn't know much about their origins, and that project got me to really focus and learn about something amazing.

I got an A+ (and almost got a detention for using a picture of a nipple piercing)

Answer 6

Field trips!

I actually had a huge school project. We had to do something about the legend of Troy. There were 40 different things, and I chose the one where you have to build an accurate model of the Trojan Horse.

I waited until the night before it was due, and all displays would be set up in the cafeteria, peers would score your setup, the teacher would score your setup, and then all of them would be averaged.

I built it out of popsicle sticks and toothpicks, hand-cut, and crossed my fingers the next day (the wheels were not attached since I didn't have time...

As soon as I set it up, I was getting one rave after another. I think someone gave me 2 points over the max (which didn't count), and one student offered to buy it from me! That all caught me completely off guard.

Answer 7

Today in class we got in groups to make up a 28th amendment we were assigned to do it earlier but things came up so we did it today. I did get a good grade though although my teacher criticize like it was a real amendment being passed or something

Answer 8

We had to scare someone!! It was for psychology class.
We had to write about whether or not we would stay and fight or run away when we were faced with a scary situation. We each got to scare someone else form our class...unexpectedly...and see if they did what they wrote they thought they would do. I wrote I would stay and fight but when this guy jumped out of the bushes at me a couple of days later, well let's just say I ran like the wind!!!
It was for the 'fight or flight' thing.

Answer 9

As a senior in high school and in journalism class, was appointed to go across town to the jr. high school and interview kids and write a column for our high school newspaper each week-from there it started me writing letters to the editors of one large and 2 small town newspapers on various subjects after I was married and from that came the invitation from the editor/owner to write a column every week for our local newspaper which I did for 6 years.

Answer 10
