10/28 HW/Review

HW tonight:  Read and annotate Brave New World to page 18.

Update:
--If you download the new Windows 8.1 AT HOME (not at school, it takes too long), then you will be able to get internet wifi at school.
--In case you're wondering why more recent grades have not been posted on powerschool, there's been school-wide issues with Powerschool and my system is still not back up and operating.  Apologies for the delay.


Review of class:
--Paper airplane assembly line
--Individual paper airplane making time
--Discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of each system.

Assembly line benefits= increased production and efficiency, uniformity, and simple, easy work
Assembly line drawbacks=little creativity, mediocre product, no room for genius

Individual assembly benefits=room for great achievement and innovation, superior product at times
Individual assembly drawbacks=some products were total failures, lack of structure could be confusing
                                                    or boring for some individuals.

The trip to watch Romeo and Juliet has changed to Saturday afternoon.  More details on the exact time to come once I get a group rate from the theater.
