Factory game 2.

The factory game part two and part one is quite different from one another, even though in both cases, we are creating these toys. Factory game part one, was self-sufficient, and our goal was an invention that attracts customers. We had worked completely alone for a production. Today, from the inventions, we picked out the best one for our factory to produce and found our MASS production. We had a limited amount of time, to produce as much of the mass production as possible. This time, it was NOT self-sufficient. We all had worked together. There was management and labor involved. Some of the laborers excelled in cutting, some in coloring, and some in assembling, so we parted and did what we do best and put it all together to produce as much as we could. Therefore, yesterday’s factory game, and today’s factory were not quite similar. Because, yesterday was more self-sufficient, and today we worked as a group, and like a cottage industry.

The Factory.

I thought that building the toy was a good experience. It also gave us an idea of what it might be like, for the inventors out there. For the creation to be liked, it had to be…CREATIVE, artistic, and well made for the people to buy these products. Also, some resources are scarce and you can’t find them around everywhere. So there is a limit to what you can use in your invention. This is sort of giving us an idea of what scarce resources may be like. We were only able to use, what was there, and nothing more. I liked this activity, because it puts us on the spot. And gives us a better idea, since this time, WE’RE the inventors. It put an image in our head of what it is like.

ROLLAR COASTER.

The ascending railings of the roller coaster, made my heart beat faster just by looking at it. The height of the thin railings, and the delicate shape looked as though the seats were going come soaring out. I laid my feet on to the tiny step of the roller coaster. And saw the sickness coming my way just by looking at the previous riders step out of their seats, sours looks spread across their faces. I buckled up myself tightly, shifting around on the smooth leather, getting comfortable. The noise of the metal crashing filled my ears, and the vibration from the base stormed up the soles of my feet. I gripped tightly on to the metal bar in front of me, my hands already sweating from the pressure of my grip. The seats started to move slowly under the roof, then sunlight stroke my eyes. I felt myself bending lower and lower. Then the cold air punched my right in the face. The soothing and fresh air made my ears stretch back, and my cheeks felt as though they were going to burst apart. My heart sank cold. I saw millions of people, the size of ants from my view, moving around the campus. I saw the panoramic view from the top of the roller coaster. Other riders of the roller coaster screamed on the top of their lungs, and screams plugged my ears. The sides of the view blurred my eyes, and made them water because of the dust. It was as though the world around me was spinning. Loud blows of air made my ears chill. And I felt my spine tickle its way up. When I screamed, the sickening taste struck my taste buds. It felt as though small particles of dust were swimming back strokes on my tongue. My throat became rough, and felt as though I had choked on rapid air. The roller coaster stopped, and darkness filled my eyes, once again.

FRUIT ROLL-UP

The fruit roll up wrapper, has rainbow colors, all over the place. There were color splatters. The wrapper gave information that the fruit roll up inside was going to have tattoo's on it for the eaters to stamp on to tongues. When i had torn the wrapper starting from the top, it had made crinkly plastic noise. When i tore it all apart, and took out the fruit roll up it self, the fruit roll up was covered with plastic so it doesn't stick to the inside of the wrapper. I wanted to get to the actually EATING the fruit roll up, so i ripped the plastic peel of the fruit roll up. The smell of the artificial tropical fruity raspberry filled the air. The fruit roll up felt very sticky. On some parts, it was slightly oily too. The surface of the fruit roll up was crinkly, and not smooth. I tore the fruit roll up in to a smaller piece to eat it. When i was tearing the fruit roll up, it made no such noise. It tasted very tangy, and fruity. Sweet at times, and sour too. A mix taste.

What I think about 'necessity is the mother of invention'

I think, that when people say "necessity is the mother of inventions" it means, that without the mothers, we wouldn't be where we are now.Most of the times, the mothers help their children study, and support them, and push them to study harder. Even though, she may NOT be the one who had invented these things that help us in many ways today, it was BECAUSE of her. Mother necessity, probably means we NEED the mothers, because without the mothers, we would not have all these things we have access to nowadays. Invention
means, to create something new. And the mother had help their children, with support. Therefore, the mother is a necessity because without the mother, there would not have been inventions. Any of us, wouldn't be where we are today, and have access to all the latest inventions and technology if it was not for mother necessity.

How do i learn best?

I am a kinesthetic and an auditory learner, because, I enjoy building things, or doing an activity and be learning at the same time. Also, listening to things maximizes my learning. When I am listening to a teacher or a classmate talk, I take the information in better. When I am in an activity, or building something, I take the information in as I am doing the activity as well. When I am taking notes, while the teacher is explaining, and study them later on, I also understand the things much better. If i need to memorize something, i do it better when I'm at home. I can concentrate much better. So note taking helps. Note taking has alot to do with visual too. AND listening also has a lot to do with this. Overall, i am 3 types of learner, becuase learning visually, auditory, and listening maximizes my way of learning.

My Gang

The most important people apart of my gang are Cathy, Khujista, Allegra, Beka, and Cerys.
Cathy is one of the most important people that matters most to me. She is always there to make me feel better, and be by my side on everything. We have been thorough an uncountable number of things, whether it’s good, or bad. She always sticks up for me, and I can pretty much always count on it. She is one of those people, I say everything I want to, and do whatever I want, and be totally comfortable about it.
Khujista and Cerys are the hyper ones. They are the perfect ones, who never mess up on anything. They can make just about make EVERYONE feel welcomed in just about ANYTHING. They’re always nice, and always seems to make me be happy all over again, when ever I was in a down mood.
Allegra is always the one; I can always go to with problems. She always seems to know how to solve them. She always understands and whenever I come with a ton of problems, she tells me what SHE thinks, and then makes everything go away.
Beka is defiantly the one I can be whoever I want around. We can be super crazy together and show up in pajamas at a proper dress party. I never feel like I HAVE to be doing something. When I’m with her, all there is to care about is dogs, getting crazy hyper, and pajamas.
Over all, all of them mean a lot to me, because they are all different in their own way, and makes me feel like on top of the world.

feed back August 8-10

Two of my highlights from the first week of school, would be that I have very nice teachers and friends for my classes this year. Also, i got the electives that i chose in 7th grade. So i am looking forward for this year. I am quite pleased with how my schedule turned out this year.
Another one of my highlights would be, everything in general. For example, how us as 8th graders are the oldest of middle school. And, how we have to be very responsible of a lot of things. My first impression of Humanities, was i am going to enjoy it. I look forward into improving a lot of skills in this class. Like, self awareness skills and communication skills.
My two goals for humanities this year, is to improve my writing skills, and class discussion skills.
I would like to be more descriptive in my writing pieces.
