Thursday May 9:what resources do YOU use?


NOTE:  THEY WILL BE CONDUCTING PASS TESTING RIGHT NEXT DOOR
YOU NEED TO BE 100% QUIET DURING TODAY'S CLASS



Greetings, human student types!

For the past several classes, we have been exploring various issues surrounding resources: how nations acquire them, what they do with them, and how they have even fought over them. Today, I wish to bring this down to a more personal level, and talk about the resources you use on a regular basis, and what use you have made of these resources.

To begin with, I want you to list and define every single solitary last resource which you have made use of within the last two weeks. Try to be as thorough as possible, and remember that if you did something, performed some task, then you have made use of a resource of some sort

A sample part of your list might look like this:

Task -- brushing my teeth
Resources applied -- toothpaste, toothbrush, water, plumbing

Task -- having some yummy Fruit Loops for breakfast
Resource applied -- Fruit loops, milk, electricity/refrigeration, bowl, spoon, water, detergent, plumbing

As you may notice, most "uses" involve far more than one resource.

I have placed a standard value of "10" for this assignment. I will be using the group which takes this task the most seriously as a "benchmark"; meaning, for every group which doesn't make as thorough a list as the "benchmark" group, I will deduct points off your total score.

You will have not more than 45 minutes to complete this particular assignment and then get it to me by email, with your name(s) and the  phrase "the resources WE use" in the subject line

cheers,
Mr. L
