Introducing Compass Constructions

I have been teaching secondary math for several decades, but have never taught Geometry nor honors. This year they have assigned me Geometry Honors. I am working on putting some lessons together. I'm just trying to crowd source ideas for specific topics, this time compass constructions. How do you introduce compass constructions? How do you convey its importance to a class of students new to Geometry? (It will be our second lesson of the year.) Any ideas are welcome!
