To go with the air travel theme of the soundtrack, here is a picture on the roof of Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, that I took in December of 2011. The major airports in Asia are like an entirely different world than our airports in the United States.
Hi everyone,
Last class before a three day weekend! I hope you rest up and come back ready for next week. We will review the Chapter 1 packet on Wednesday and take the Chapter 1 test on Friday.
Soundtrack: “Paris, Tokyo” by
Lupe Fiasco. Chosen because tomorrow, I am going to go visit the Boeing Airplanes 737 factory in Seattle area. Air travel is a huge part of the world economy! Lyrics here.
AGENDA 2/15/13:
Warm Up
TED Talks – Tim Jackson
What Do You Want?
Chapter 1 Review
Homework: Read the blog, keep reviewing the learning targets.
Warm Up: The question for today (warm up #4) was: Why does women’s clothing always button from the left, while men’s clothing always buttons from the right?
As usual, Avi brought the heat with a possible reason (apparently in a documentary). Here is the somewhat convoluted (and possibly made up) answer.
TED Talks - Tim Jackson: We watched the first 10 minutes or so of this video. I had students take notes on familiar terms from the Chapter 1 learning targets. What was he saying about scarcity? About the Want-Satisfaction Chain?
What Do You Want?: Next, I had the class think of something quantifiable (a good or service) that they want. What were the factors of production to make that item? I asked you to write a short response imagining everything that went into making something that you want.
Chapter 1 Review: For the rest of class, I had students quietly work on the rest of the Chapter 1 review packet. I will give you a little time to finish this next class, then we will review it together during that class before the Chapter 1 test on Friday. Sound like a plan? Again, if you somehow do not have the packet to work on, here it is to download: Google Drive: Chapter 1 Review Packet.

Have a great weekend! Let me know if there is anything I can help you understand better with the Chapter 1 learning targets.
