19 February 2013 4th Hour Technology Warmup

DIY, or do it yourself.  What does that mean?  Choose one article from this link that you find interesting.

http://www.popsci.com/diy

In one paragraph tell, me about the DIY invention and why you think that it is interesting.

In a second paragraph, explain why you think that the focus of this current project is doing it yourself without much direction fro the teacher.

Each paragraph must be 5 sentences long.  You will lose one point for any sentence that does not follow capital and punctuation rules.  You will lose two points for any sentences you are missing.  You will lose 5 points for a missing paragraph.  Make sure that you complete the warmup it the correct format. 

When you complete your warmup, pull up your Work Cited document and begin working on your project.  While you are working on your project, I will come around and provide one-on-one assistance on completing your Work Cited page.  You have the entire class period to focus on completing your project.

    i think the cube-pix will be inserting.
    i don't know how it would be to have no directions from the teacher but if it did happen that i think that it will be kinda hard to do that.

    I like the solar charger.I think its interesting because use can save electricity.Plus you can charge your electronics outside.And all you need is the sun.This is why I like the solar charger.
    The focus on this project is to keep your gadgets powered even when your off the grid. This means that when you have no signal just plug it in and put it under the sun.

    I think the breathing baby monitor invention is interesting.I think this invention is cool because you can keep track of whether a baby is breathing or not.The lights on the side of the crib tell whether it moniters breathing or not.So this is a cool way to know if its breathing.This is how and why I think this invention is interesting.

    I think that the reason why we have to do most of this project by ourselves is to see how good we are at following directions.Maybe we all need some practice at being able to follow written directing with very few directions from the teacher.This also may be so that we can get some practice at working individually.Also to see if we can get our work done with mostly written directions.This is why I think that we have to mostly do the projet ourselves with very few directions from our instructor

    My favorite DIY invention was the pumpkin that plays tetris.I think it is interesting because I love tetris and i love pumpkins.It must have been really hard to make.Even though It was Carved it still was difficult.I know no matter how hard i tried i couldn't do it. One year i tried to do PAC-MAN so tetris is a whole other story.
    I think it is easier with written directions.I think it is easier because if we forget we can just go back and look at the directions to make sure we understand. Sometimes I think that when you give us directions it it easier though cause we can ask questions about what we are learning about.Usually i forget though cause I'm not good and remembering stuff. It is also easier with a partner because if you don't understand something you can ask your partner.

    My favorite diy was the was the electric hand cause you it was you could move it. With your own hand with out touching it at all. It is pretty cool and easy to use it probably cost a lot. also some of these ideas are really weird and impossible. I think the person how made this creation should make a full body size of it.

    It is easy to follow written directions cause it just like you telling the directions. So it is easy either way is easy for me but sometime its hard to under stand.written direction are some times written is confusing to me. Also well i have to understand or I will be confused. Also I will never get it right.

    My favorite DIY is the Prosthetic hand.I like it because it can help people that don't have a hand.Another reason is because it can change your life. This hand change a little boy's life. The hand cost $150.

    The focus about the hand is to help you if you dont have a hand. So that you can be in sports. This is why i like the Prosthetic hand.
