For her cartography class, Iris learned to use Arc-GIS storymaps to create a webpage.

Her end-of-term assignment was to create a map of a made-up place.

She created Trevar Island and its people.

Brandon lectures from the front of the classroom.

I sit by the computer and interrupt him constantly to ask questions and interject when I am not taking photographs.

In our class we have two teachers: myself (real, so far as I’m concerned) and Brandon (virtual, IMO, but he probably perceives himself as real); two students: Iris and Akiva; and two pets: Brook the Dog and Hammy the Hamster. Hammy belongs to the neighbors and has a different name when she’s at home. At our house, she’s Hammy, and like everyone else, she is homeschooled.
