If I were 20 feet tall...

Our school has been working on a writing prompt with the students on what life would be like if they were 20 feet tall.  There were many positives and negatives that the students came up with.  From there, the students then put 20 feet tall into perspective.  We discussed how 20 feet tall is about the height of a two story building, slightly taller than the average giraffe, and around 3-4 times the average height of an adult human being.  We talked about all sorts of ways that you could draw a 20 foot person (based on perspective) and came to the conclusion that no matter how you set up your person, everything else in the drawing needs to shrink in size.  Here are some examples of what the students have been working on.  There are more to come!
