Year of Writing 46. Figurines.

A while ago I posted about some story ideas that kids had for their Character projects in my class.  Suffice to say, they were rambunctiously awesome.  Now, I present the finished product - the character figurine, complete with backdrop.  I will provide my own one sentence summary of their character.  Bear in mind, these characters ALL have short fiction to accompany them. 

1)  Burrito man and Taco boy, who have vowed to stave off the Martian threat to our world.  Good luck, you two.

2)    Shireen.  She was adopted, but nobody realized as a toddler, she had murdered her entire village, leaving behind a lake of blood.  (this girl was a little bit mad at her mom when she came up with the idea.)

3)  A rock.  With glasses.  In the forest. 
(the story is EXACTLY as exciting as you imagine)

4)  A graffiti artists' creation, come to life, now terrorizing the late-night tagger scene.  (this was one of the better stories.  I almost killed the student, however, for typing in all caps.  Seriously?  What the hell?)

5)  The Pastry Gang, they get into all kinds of crazy hijinx in the oven, until old Mr. Muffin tells them to buzz off. 

6)   Kid.  (Story bored me to tears - about a boy who gets into fights all the time, but the sculpture is bad-ass).

7)  The evil drug lord Chili and his two henchmen.  They're hiding out in his cabin in the desert until the heat dies down.

8)   The Tyrannosaurus that ate Paris.  'nuff said.

9)   Marshmallowstick.  Literally.  (the stick wakes up one day to find he's been attacked by a parasitic marshmallow.  He then sets out on an adventure trying to find a shamanistic brontosaurus to release the fiend).

10)  Sr.  Pupusa, the ne'erdowell couch potato.  Here he is contemplating taking over the world, but Maury Povich is about to be on, so that can wait. 









Oh yeah, did I mention I love my job right now?
