For some reason, my teacher is making us make a mask. Masks similar to those worn in royal...parties. Fancy people had em. Put em over your eyes, had a little stick...REMEMBER?

Yeah you do. 'Course you do. This is for the Romeo and Juliet unit.

I need a funny idea. Something simple to do. Something I can do just by being lazy. But something awesome and funny. Anyone? C'mon...this CAN win an MVP award.

The "Phantom of the Opera" look would be simple enough.

Or, even better, go as Quetzalcoatl! That would be an interesting mask.

Couldn't you just, oh I don't know, use your own creativity and make something fun and entertaining on your own instead of relying on someone else?

Take the minimalist approach.

Make a Cthulhu mask. That way, the teacher will go insane and not be able to teach, so you get to goof off for the period.

Tried that. Besides, this way can be funnier.

Make a cast of your own face and try and make it as exact a replica of yourself as possible.

Instead of that, shoot all the other 9th graders with a gun! Surprise your teachers, surpass expectations, bring a gun instead of a mask!

(I probably broke some sort of law posting that.)

Don't make a Roman Soldier mask. You'll get a B. ;) (Stupid schwein of an English teacher last year!!!)

OK, I'm sure you've got like some sort of take out pizza box lying around some where (if not, what's wrong with you...J/K) make a mask out of that, (very simple but has to be well done or it will look like you just took something last minute), and just be like 'this mask is supposed to represent the capitalistic ideas that would eventually take root in England'. (look very serious when you say that and you may be able to ge a B+, or if it's a very good mask, you may get a better grade.)

If you believe the assignment to be "retarded", why ask for help?

Because it's a rather pointless assignment that could use help to make better.

OOO, I have an idea even better than the pizza box. Make a pirate mask/hat. They were regarded with lots of suspicion at the time and were usually hung for any crime any one wanted to. It would be cool to come in with a mask that challenges the ideas of the society at that time.

When I saw the title I was about to mention that it really should be called American classes but hey. You are doing an English author. 9th grade is high school right? My god, wish I had such easy english homework at your age. Be thankful!

Good advice, It only gets harder from there.

My grade is a 96% in the class, it's too bloody easy. I've even slacked off and failed a few quizzes.

Hasteur... Hasteur... Hast... :D

Print it out, cut out the mouth and rant away - worked very well for me at my university when we were talking about the presidential election. During our presentation I played Dubyah (including cowboy boots, shirt & jeans) and if you don't know what to say, just smile or make pouty lips ;)

Okay, I've gone through everyone's ideas. Basically, here's the best idea out of them all...my own.

South park, the Canadians. They have flapping heads. Use cardboard and make a Canadian while he's talking with his head flying. Haha. I'm laughing!

...not to mention, it'll never get a good grade...

Okay, that's gonna be written down.

Hell if I was doing that course I could have got an A at GCSE lvl (about 4th yr of high school) and my English is by far not my favourite subject. Romeo and Juliet is good though. Blag the teacher to show you the two versions of Romeo and Juliet the movie available and then you can make a comparison of 'em. That's the Baz Lurman version with DiCaprio and the Franco Zeferelli one from the 1960's. Get's you out of proper work. :D

That's right!!! Blame Canada!!!!!!!

OMG, we had the same project, except we had to make a poem in Iambic pentameter to go only with it. It was due like 2 weeks ago. And today we had to turn in our project of making Eye-Witness books of Shakespeaan times.

At their core things that are funny involve unanticipated, non-threatening, contradictions. Older authoritarian types often find obnoxious behavior threatening especially if it's unanticipated.

Recursive logic: A high quality silicone mask of your own face would be a pain in the ass, but funny.

Minimalist: A mask that you make at the very last minute by poking two eyeholes in a sheet of notebook paper which you then tape to your forehead in full view of the teacher and class might be very funny to some people.

High stakes: You could make a mask out of an enourmous sex toy. But that probably wouldn't win any awards. Instead you could try a marker, extra points if it's permanent (people respect commitment even without any proof of greater talent), and color a mask in on your face.

Sentimental: Anything that plays on some long forgotten element of everyone's childhood, a universal touch stone, will instantly throw people back into misty water colored memories of the good old days. For a history class I did a version of Jepordy (with fire alarm buzzers) where a daily video double was snippet from the drill missle episode of Star Blazers, man you should have heard the room explode when I played the tape. You'd be shooting for something from the time your peers were 8 to 10, something they'd all, or at least everyone of the same gender, would know and love immediately. Something that's all but forgotten now.

Make a pinocchio (sp?) mask with a gigantic nose, I'm talking so big that people get hit with it when you turn around.

Then tell lies the whole day to play the role.

or just hold a stick as if it had a mask on. and say you got it from the same tailors who are on their way to show the Emperor a new line of clothes.
