Game day 2

On the second day we chose the best product out of all the products the class made, and we chose a pig made by Nikaya. Then we were told to make as many pigs as we could together working in a group. we made an essembly line of peple with specialized jobs, like cutters, gluers, colorers etc... in the beginning the production was very slow but then, the production of pigs was really fast. Over all we made lots more pigs than one person could by them self. But they were not nearly as good quality as the first pig that was specially made by Nikaya.

Game day1

When we made our gifts from a piece of paper it took a fairly long time to make but it was pretty good quality. It was kind of like i was a craftsman, that made a specialized one of a kind product.

Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster

Kudunk, kudunk, kudunk, we slowly went up the track, I grasped the cold metal bar in front of me, getting ready to start the huge drop . Everything went quite the second we were at the edge… the screams began as the cart started to tip and my neck snapped back as we went flying down the 80 degree drop. The crisp wind was whipping by my face so fast it burned, and my stomach felt as If it was going to flip inside out. All I could here was the dramatic screaming of most girls and a couple of teenagers shouting, “No hands”. As we finished the drop half of the people were cheering for more but the other half looked like they were going to be sick.

mother necessities





What does the phrase, “necessities are the mother of invention” mean? Please include at least three good examples to support your thinking.




I think that this phrase means that if there’s a need then somebody will invent it. For example, there was a need to make cotton faster, so somebody invented the cotton gin. Another example was the telephone. There was a need to talk to people faster than going over to each others house, so the telephone was invented so people could communicate a lot faster. Also, it took a long time to make clothing, because it was being sewed by hand, so Elias invented a sewing machine that could make the product a lot faster.

How I Learn Best

What kind of learner are you? I learn best kinesthetically, (by working with a partner, or in a group. I don’t learn very well from listening to long lectures. I also learn well if someone shows/gives an example or shows me how to do it first.


What can I do to help you learn most effectively in this class? You can help me by not giving long lectures, and giving good instruction before giving assignments. Also, making learning a fun and enjoyable experience helps me to actually try my best. That sounds funny :)

My Gang

I would consider my friends as my gang.Whos in my gang would be Alex g, Conor, Adi, Sam g, Petr, kris, Sam R, Scott, Dylan, Travis, Aysha, Alice, Sophia, Lily, Michaela, and chloe. i consider them my gang, because they are my good friends and will always be there for me. Also, when I'm upset i can talk with them, and they can talk with me. On weekends we hang out and have fun together. so you can probably see why we are a gang.
