Since I'll be gone for the next few classes, I'm setting up a 3-part assignment for you to complete over the next week.

1. You will design and create a model of a home or school as it will exist in 2063. You must label at least 15 new technologies that will be in common use at that time. Your model can be a blueprint, a Google Sketchup project, or a 3D Shoebox Model (for the Shoebox only, you can work in pairs).


2. You will write up a description of your 15 new technologies. Write out what the function is and give some background on how/why it was invented (ie. cars that don't pollute [how?] or toilets that clean themselves).


3. You will write a one-page narrative (~500 words) that will describe a day in the life of a typical Grade 9 student in 2063. Start at the time they wake up (6am) until they go to bed (10pm). This is a school day, so give some descriptions of both the house and the school (Check out this post from Nahyeon (G12) for some inspiration (but hers is for 2021 - yours is for 2063 so will be even crazier). Example here.)

All three parts of the assignment will be due on Wednesday, January 23. Post all writing on your blogs, and take screenshots or pictures of anything you can (if you're doing the Shoebox, please post on both blogs).
