March 4 & March 6: Making & Inventing

Things to think about for Monday, March 4:

  • Reflect on your paper writing process. Many of you confessed that you had a very hard time with the paper purely because there was no concrete specific topic you had to write about. I wonder what you found challenging about the process of inventing or making a paper topic or thesis?
  • What do you think about when you hear the terms inventing or making? What do these words make you think about?
  • If you had the chance to invent something, what would you want to make? Think about physical objects–what would you need to actually create or build your invention?
  • You might also want to take a look at this: http://makeymakey.com/ (We will be working in groups with this tool all week.)

And, remember, on Wednesday, March 6, we’ll meet in Room 323, 137 East 25th Street (the building next to the Newman Library)!
