![]() My Test Taking Robot My tummy always gets butterflies so I built a robot to take my tests. The name of my creature is My Test Taking Robot. First, I took a juice bottle for the body. Then I got a smaller bottle for the neck and the head. Next I got a cork for the nose, tinfoil for the hair, string for the mouth, buttons for the eyes and forks for the legs. To put everything together I will use glue and tape. Then I will decorate it with markers and stickers. Next I had to fill my robot with all the information of our world. First I would fill it with everything I have learned. Then I would give the robot to my dad, doctor, librarian, and a police officer for them to teach the robot everything they know. Now my robot is smarter than me and now can take my tests. 11 |
