Factory Game Reflection 2

This game I found as the cutter and gluer more stressful. People would keep yelling at us telling us that we were too slow, and that we had to do it faster. Each time the model came out, it looked nothing like the original, some of them had its nose too high, some had bunny ears, and some were just horrible. If we had more time, it would have made the model look more better than the one we made in a rush. We should have planned it out better as an assembly line, because it wasn't very organized at all. But overall I found the game extremly fun working with everyone and giving each other laughs.

Factory Game Reflection

I found making a present out of little supplies was not that hard, but as a gift it wouldn't be as attractive. We had only color pencils, glue, and scissors to make a nice gift for a younger sibling. In those days it was hard, and you had limited supplies to play with. These days if you wanted a to buy a present, you would simply go to a shop and buy it. It was also hard to work with because the paper wasn't the best quality, and when you glued things on at the back it was still seethrough. This experiance was fun though, but with little supplies you couldn't decorate it to make it more attractive.

Rollar Coaster Ride!

It was the biggest out of all, standing there calling my name. So tall you could barely see the the top, but I was here, and I was ready. My heart pounded inside my chest as I aproched the rollar coaster excited about my new experiance. The railings leading up top were cold and hard and the steps kept going on forever. Once I reached the top I could see the long black coaster rolling in, making squeaky noises as it arrived. I grabbed the front seat, and held tight to my belt. It was rough, but kept me from danger. Then the rollar coaster started to move, going higher and higher. I could smell the fries and hamburgers below me, and the wind was hard against my face. Then suddenly, it felt as if I were flying, a free fall from high above. The breeze was cool against my skin and it made my hair go shooting in many directions. Before I knew it. the ride slowly came to a stop, and I back where I started.

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention


Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Necessity means needs that a person wants. Invention means a creation that someone has created to fulfill our needs. For example the phone, created by Alexander Graham Bell, he created the phone to make our life easier instead of walking to deliver a message. These days, we don’t ride on horses to deliver messages like they did in the olden days, we use phones. It makes it faster to contact one another, and a lot easier.

Another example of invention is the airplane, created by Wilbur and Orville Wright. The creation of planes have made it faster to travel to far distance places, and because of them it has made it easier to travel to different countries, and even continents. We call it the mother of invention because the mother is the one that gives birth to a person, not the father. So this line says in other words that when we need something, we can invent it out of scratch.

Feedback - How Do You Learn Best?

I learn best visually because by watching videos, and reading, I can get more of a characters personality, and how they act. Reading describes the characters traits well, so you can easily remember which character, and by watching videos, you can see how the character acts, and reacts to different situations. I also learn best by listening to lectures and others opinions on the topic so I get a sense on what others think about it. I don't really like discussions, but just listening to discussions is fine with me.

My Gang

My gang consists of 3 people, my very close cousins. The name of the members in my gang are, Ornicha, Sorana, and Me. I would consider Ornicha in my gang because she is very close to me since we were little kids. We shared many similarities with each other,but when her family moved to Canada we were apart for a few years. During those years we never emailed each other. But then after a long time of no communication, we finally met each other. Ever since, we told each other everything we couldn't even tell anyone else. She and I love to go shopping, joke around, and party all night! We can rely on each other, and tell each other everything about whats on our mind. Even though we see each other once a year in our home country, Thailand, we still email each other everyday.
I also consider Sorana in my gang because as I said before we share many similarities. She and I enjoy going to amusement parks, and sightseeing around different places together. We have been buddies though her sister, Ornicha. Ever since, we have been closer than ever. Even though she rarely checks her emails because she says she is too lazy, we still are best buddies. She is also considered in my gang because she is the same age, and she has been through about the same things as I have.
Those are the reasons why I consider them in my gang.
