I was really impressed by Magdalena’s project. Not only did she take the time to research what houses the certain characters would be sorted into from “Yuri, On Ice,” but she also took the time to draw each character and dress them in clothes of their corresponding houses.

I’m a sucker for art, and stuff like this just blows me away. I don’t think people like Magdalena get enough credit for doing artistry like this. If I were to try to draw something freehand, it would seriously look like a stick figure. She was saying after her presentation that one character, alone, took her a couple of hours to do and I’m betting that’s more time than most of us would spend on a project like this.

I was also really impressed at all of the research that she did. She took the time to break down each house and see what qualities a member of that house would have. She would also have to have a lot of knowledge on the characters from the show (which, I’m betting, wasn’t too hard if she finds the show enjoyable). I was even impressed by the slideshow presentation and how the sorting hat would come in from out of screen! And I think having the class interact with the presentation was the icing on the cake. She did a really good job. I just really appreciated how much thought and effort she put into it.
