All about Buzz

Our oldest son Brandon had a school report due on Buzz Aldrin. First he researched in his school's library....then the internet...then the public library. He made a time line and mapped out his visual aid on drafting paper. Then the conversation began.

Brandon:   Mom
Mom:   Yes, Brandon
Brandon:   I know what I want to do for my visual aid.
Mom:   You do?
Brandon: Yes, but I need a some things.
Mom:   Ok, what do you need?
Brandon:  This is the map...do you understand it?  Here let me explain...I need, red, white, and blue card-stock, glitter paper, felt letters, a rocket like the one dad and I build in Indianapolis when I was 3, remember that one?
Mom:  Yes!
Brandon:  Oh, and I need a styrofoam ball that I'm going to cut in half for the moon, a hammer, some paint, a glue gun, and an astronaut guy.
Mom: Ok?
Brandon:   Oh, and do you know those thingies that adults have in their drinks at 4th of july parties. I need one of those too!
Mom:   I'm sorry, I don't remember that one.
Brandon:  You KNOW the flag thingies with the toothpick ends....Buzz was one of the first men on the moon and they put a flag up there.
Mom:   Ok, I'm following you...
Brandon:  Next, I need one of those fold out things for presentations, I think blue would look nice, but black would work too...and I need a stabilizer on the top to make the Buzz sign, then I need string, ribbon, and I need to print out some pictures from the internet. Do you think you could help me with that?
Mom:   I think I can try!

WOW, what an organized mind! He visualized what he wanted, drew it out, stuck to the plan and created this beautiful visual aid. Maybee......being a public speaker is in his future!
We'll see!
