         <description><![CDATA[Students create an illustrated journal from the perspective of a time traveler meeting different mathematicians throughout history. They should include 'interviews' with at least 3 mathematicians, describing their contributions and drawing/describing the time period they lived in. This helps develop both historical understanding and creative writing skills.]]></description>
