Class Project Based Learning

I was invited to attend a class’ Project Based Learning (PBL) activity on today. For those who are unaware of what PBL is, it’s learning that requires students to plan and implement real-life projects that improve their work based learning skills in preparation for their future careers. Today, this class created a salon with a menu of services such as: polishing nails, massages, tattoos, and make-up. The students actually provided the services and were required to speak in English the entire time. I opted for the polishing nails and make-up service. However, the student assigned to doing the messages wanted to offer her service as well so, I had a message also. The class and their teacher did an excellent job. I was very impressed.

But…..on the other hand, I’m not sure about my make-up. In this culture it is customary to make yourself light as possible as being dark is not good. Yep, you read it right. Whereas we believe in matching your foundation to your skin color as close as possible. So, all they had were light foundations, and here are the results of my make over.
