For weeks, students have been hard at work on their Factory Projects. One factory, "MISS G" (for Micah, Inbal, Sandy, Sonya, and Gabe) is producing "graphic tees" -- tees that feature all sorts of cool images of sites from around the world. The other factory, "WHAN" ( for Westrick, Hammarstrom, Alezker, and Nassau) is producing the incredible Pencil-Pen. Their slogan is: "Is it a pencil, or is it a pen? It's both!"
It's very cool to watch the students work. They're taking the assignment so seriously. They've had disagreements about what to pay workers, where to get materials from, product prices, etc. It's great.
Today Jacob showed me a piece of paper that had his factory's budget-related Math calculations on it. He pointed to a number that was somewhere in the $2 million range and said, "Miss Weiss, I'm glad we don't really have to come up with all this money! You know, you need a LOT of money to start a factory!"
Rough drafts are due tomorrow and then we'll start on revisions. The finished products should be stellar -- ask to see them!
