Introduction
  • Making something out of wood, metal, paper, and other materials,
  • Is one of the practical aspects of the school.
  • You get to put some of the things you have learned into practice.
  • I will be talking about a time I made something out of clay.
What did you make?
  • At that time in school,
  • Our teacher was teaching us about the different types of soil,
  • And their uses.
  • So she asked us to make something using clay soil.
  • Though I have never molded anything with clay before I was eager to start.
  • I made a human leg with shoes on.
Why did you make it?
  • I made this because,
  • I knew so many of my classmates would make pots, plates, spoons, and most common things.
  • And I hate doing the same thing as others, I love to stand out.
  • So I made something no one would think of making
How have you made it?
  • My Dad has the leg of a mannequin in the garage,
  • So I used that to serve as my measurements.
  • Then I mixed my clay soil with little water,
  • I didn’t make it too watery and not too thick so that it will hold.
  • I made the foot first, then I went on to the leg,
  • I then moulded the shoes.
  • It was difficult because I had to make sure it was not roughly made.
How did you feel about it?
  • It was challenging, as I had no prior experience of moulding before.
  • But I was able to make something well.
  • My teacher gave me an A,
  • And she said though I made few mistakes,
  • But she gave me a good grade for thinking outbox.
  • For being spontaneous.
Conclusion

There is nothing we cannot do with our hands if we put our heart to it.
