1st Day of the Second Semester

Today we started the second semester by working on identifying our topics for the capstone project.  Here is the 8th period class.
TEACHER OBJECTIVE - Identify who the students are and how I can empower them to find and solve problems.
STUDENT OBJECTIVE - Identify who my classmates are and collaborate with them to identify and solve problems.
Simon Sinek, “Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.”
Be a problem finder and solver!
We used this document to guide our brainstorming process: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QrKpP7MNcJTFQbvlAwLvAVK_lVfPOHBM_voBxks0Z4k/edit?usp=sharing.

We also formed our base groups and found STEAM partners.

The assignment is to complete the exit ticket posted in Google Classroom by the beginning of Friday's class and to complete the capstone project document up to and including row 36 by the end of class on Friday.

1/24/2020 PS 1 Mindtrap Questions

After hearing the description of the situation below, record a yes or no question that will help the class solve the crime. Detective Shadow picked up the Begile Beaver newspaper and a coffee and sat back at his desk. Beyond his window was a beautiful view of the Begile harbor.  As dawn broke, he could see the cranes beginning to load the 20,000-ton ship.  Coincidentally, there was a front-page story about a Singaporean company that purchased 40,000 Begile lawn tractors that were allegedly being loaded onto the ship that day.  Further into the newspaper article, Shadow read about a Singapore drug cartel that was rapidly increasing its Begile trade. "The good and the bad," thought Shadow as he finished his coffee and headed off to the City Hall courthouse. Seven hours later Shadow was back at his desk writing his reports when he saw the ship leaving Begile headed for Singapore.   At that moment Shadow suspected something very fishy about the ship. Why?
