One of my favorite forts I helped build was “The Eye of The Pyramid” because it was the shape of a pyramid which were two tables attached to each other standing up, and had a big sheet to cover the holes of the pyramid. It also had a entrance that was made out of cardboard. Chairs held the cardboard so it wouldn’t fall down. But it may hadn’t been finished with the help of Sam, Aaron , and Winifred
This is my perspective:
I think that the fort came out really good. The only thing bad was that there was basicly no room inside. The outside was magnificent, a giant pyramid with two trianglular windows at the top. It reminds me of something I made at my house, which was a strange shape indeed. It looked like a car covered with a blanket sitting in the middle of the living room. Inside it was pitch black, and really cool. Some of the things you could do were play PS2 and watch movies. The only picture I have of it is in its current state ruin all the blankets are gone and the front chair has tilted forward. (So sad…)

Hello, I wanted to announce a new feature to Fort Rochambeaus Web presence, which is our Flickr page! You will be able to see all the photos from class, cuz we are gonna take a lot, some of which you will see on the blog! Click on this link to visit our photos!
So here are some images of todays three mini forts -
The Flag is flying high on “Zitaly” in the background, while we can see Sam and the title placard of “The Hexagon” in the fore.
A blur of construction. . .
And the satisfaction of a completed nest. All pieced together in the final twenty minutes of class.
Readers,
This is my whopping second post on this fabulous web log. Today we started this phenomenal blog. It is truly, one of my favorite web sites now that I know how to properly use it. I would like to say that today, Joseph, Sam, and I each created our own forts. My fort was constructed of 9 cardboard pieces. Sam’s was called the hexagon (it held the ‘peanut gallery’) Mine was made in three segments, like two vertical pieces, and on to a horizontal flat “roof” Between the front and middle segments, in the small crack, I put in a “flag” composed of a pen, which sits in front of me now, and a small piece of paper, with symbols scribbled on it. I entitled my fort, Zitaly. In it was the movable bottom of the pen, or “dowel” to the flag. Also I had a library in it, that consisted of one book. Truthfully, it was very unstable, as it is solely made of cardboard, but, for cardboard, it was a miracle it stayed so well. Trivia: What was the first story typed on a typewriter? Pun: What the mathematician say, when he saw an angel? “It’s a sine!”
