3rd and 4th Grade OM Performance
This team chose Problem #3 "It's How We Rule" "In this Classics problem, teams will recreate a King's Court from history and make their own Royal Court set in an original kingdom at a different time and place. The Historic Court will issue a decree that fits in with its history, while the team-created Royal Court will issue a decree that changes an everyday behavior for the people in the kingdom. The Historic court will be composed as the team wishes, but the Royal Court will be made up of a leader, a minstrel that performs a song while playing a team created instrument, and a jester that makes fun of the leader. The performance will include puppets and a Peoplet (a person portrayed as a puppet), and will be scored for humor" (KS Odyssey of the Mind website). State Results 2014 World Finals |
