Click the image to see an extraordinary example of repurposing non-musical items into musical instruments - exactly the sort of thing that the Axis Summer Assignment asks you to do.
Brilliant design is a hallmark of outstanding engineering. Often lost in the stories of great achievements, however, is the understanding of the dynamic forces at play. These forces can be physical; they are also frequently professional...and personal.
Understanding that no change happens without controversy and compromise, and no success without blunder, is a recurring theme in our study of US History in the Axis STEM Academy. Eventually, conflicting passions, attitudes, and beliefs give way to progress; likewise, our seeming failures lead us onward to great things. As Thomas Edison said, the light bulb did not pop out of his head complete - it was the result of a thousand failures. When we are ready to learn from our failures, then we are ready to succeed.

Remember, this can be in any appropriate format you wish. There will be some class time for work on this on Tuesday and it will be the only homework due Thursday...but you would do well to get some of it completed over the weekend.
Read the text of MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech while you listen to it here. In your notes, write responses to these questions:
- What in King's diction (a.k.a. word choice) creates especially vivid imagery for the audience?
- Recall that the rally's organizer, A. Philip Randolph, convinced speakers to tone down their speeches to avoid appearing too confrontational. What evidence is there that MLK Jr. took this request seriously?
- King, an ordained minister, regularly brought Biblical morals & references into his activist speeches. Cite two examples of such in this speech.
- What about his style of speaking (pacing, tone, and shifting emphasis) made the speech even more powerful than its words?

Homework due Tuesday, April 8:
The release of classified information about the Vietnam War helped lead to the end of our involvement in the war. This information, collected by former Marine Daniel Ellsberg and published by the New York Times, documented not only a history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam but a parallel history of government officials lying to the public about that involvement.
This article (with all its grammatical troubles) explains some of the details revealed in the papers and their historical effects; read it and take notes on the key ideas.
A follow-up piece, written by Daniel Ellsberg himself, puts the Pentagon Papers into a modern historical context. Ellsberg regrets not releasing the papers sooner than he did (if he had done so, by one account, the Tonkin Gulf resolution would never have passed Congress and the war would have been avoided). He calls for a modern version to be released. As you read his article, take notes on his claims about why we need such papers now as much as ever.

Remember, good interview questions have more than simple yes-or-no responses are phrased in such a way that they will not offend nor put the speaker on the defensive.

Click the image at left to read an account of Emmitt Till's murder, the trial of his killers, and the aftermath. It is a stunning view into the Jim Crow South - a world very different from our own. Take notes not only on key events but on descriptions that help you understand what it was like to be white (and black) in the South.
As well, you need to finish researching the disruptive innovation you chose & create your infographic. These will be shared with the class on Tuesday, 3/25. I've created one that I think is successful; it took about four hours to research and design. I look forward to hearing your feedback after the break!

Finish your infogr.am chart on US military involvement in Vietnam. Your second chart must include both information about two data sets: military personnel and military deaths. Use the links below to find the data sets.
Choose the most powerful visual chart you can find to represent this data. Columns are OK; area charts and pictorials might be even better. Play around with different ones until you find one that you think works the best.
For your core infographic project, start researching the topic you generated in class for whichever category you drew. Look for information about what life was like before 'your' innovation & how your innovation has changed the world (economically, environmentally, socially, etc.). Create a new Google doc where you can save your information. The more you can find out now, the less you'll have to do later!
If you got less than a check-plus on your paragraph about Eben Bayer's TED talk, you may revise it. This needs to be typed; you must bring the printed copy on Friday. I won't mark it down for being late - I'm more interested in you getting it right. Click the thumbnail on the left to see the excellent sample paragraph we reviewed in class. Extra credit: today (Weds., March 12) is the anniversary of a significant policy regarding communism. The first person from each class to tell me (in person) what it was gets an extra credit point.

As a followup to our brief discussions on biomimicry today, check out Eben Bayer's talk at TED in 2010. While his work is more 'direct usage' rather than 'mimicry', it's yet another ingenious example of how the natural world can provide us with solutions to our needs. When you're done, write a clear paragraph describing how well his innovation meets its intended need, what some unintended benefits of it are, and at least one other use/application you can think of for this technology. This paragraph needs to be typed and will be turned in on Monday.

We will finish the 1950s test with a short in-class essay on Monday. The question is this: was the 1950s a great decade in American history? I"ll have some documents for you to consider in answering this question, but you should review your notes and begin to formulate an argument now. Oh yes: the most historic 100 days in presidential history started 81 years ago on Sunday. Be the first to tell me in person what that was for extra credit.

Take notes on each invention regarding the inspiration (in nature) for the development, each invention's application (i.e. it's use), and possible uses you could anticipate which haven't been thought of yet. We'll have a whole-core series of roundtable discussions on Thursday during second block, so come prepared to both discuss and question your ideas. (Note: there will be links from Vezino and Fitzgerald as well - this will lead us to our big semester project, which we'll explain in class on Thursday.)

No homework - enjoy your weekend! Bear in mind that we will have our unit test on the 1950s on Thursday. This will include the (short) test on the ten jazz songs/artists, all topics from our notes on 1950s culture-society-politics, and an in-class essay. To help you study, I encourage you to make flashcards using a website such as Quizlet to help memorize names, dates, and events. We will review these topics before the test on Thursday, but if you don't do some studying on your own, you will have a difficult time passing the test.

Homework due Friday, Feb. 28:
In 1957, President Eisenhower had the chance to stand up strongly for an end to school segregation. He didn't do so until it became an issue of states' rights vs. federal government authority. It was a terrifying and shameful time in American history as nine young teens first integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Listen to this series of interviews with seven of the Little Rock Nine. Be forewarned: the experiences they relate are mostly awful...but they are first-hand accounts of a critical juncture in the civil-rights movement. Take notes on the details that each person recalls (including each speaker's name).
Then, write a detailed paragraph explaining what was most striking about the recollections. You need to use at least three quotes in your paragraph. Organize your writing so that it builds up to the most striking, shocking, or surprising detail. Use the format we've learned earlier (Super Starting Device - clear thesis - example - explanation - example - explanation - example - explanation - conclusion with real world connection). These must be typed and will be read by others in the class. Bring your notes and a printed copy of your paragraph on Friday.
In 1957, President Eisenhower had the chance to stand up strongly for an end to school segregation. He didn't do so until it became an issue of states' rights vs. federal government authority. It was a terrifying and shameful time in American history as nine young teens first integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Listen to this series of interviews with seven of the Little Rock Nine. Be forewarned: the experiences they relate are mostly awful...but they are first-hand accounts of a critical juncture in the civil-rights movement. Take notes on the details that each person recalls (including each speaker's name).
Then, write a detailed paragraph explaining what was most striking about the recollections. You need to use at least three quotes in your paragraph.

Homework due Wednesday, 11/20 (Jolly's very special day):
One great engineering feat of the early 20th century demands our attention as STEM students: the construction of the Panama Canal. Yet it's more than a story of engineering; it's also a story of political and economic manipulation, of race, and of the growing power of the United States. A long film (American Experience: The Panama Canal, 82min) will take you to the canal, both present and past. As you watch, take notes on the following topics:
- Edison moments (both the problems and the ways they were solved)
- the human toll (dating back to French efforts)
- political machinations
- costs & benefits
At the bottom of your notes, write a paragraph summary of what you've learned and an additional paragraph assessing what you think was done right and what should have been done differently.
We've got to fill our "Pennies for Patients" box...AND make a winning effort for the canned food drive! Here's the incentive: if we fill the pennies box and collect at least 100 cans of food, there will be no homework over the Thanksgiving break.

Homework due Thursday, 11/14:
Finish editing your Op/Ed piece on a contemporary issue. It should be two pages long and include citations at the bottom of the second page. Keep your paragraphs short - Friedman's average 4 sentences each, reflecting how long an average reader can pay attention to each idea. Print a copy of your piece with no name (use ID number instead) and bring it to class on Thursday.
Thinking of what we've learned about society during WWI (especially the intense xenophobia and pressure to conform with the government's position), I want you to find two things online:
1. an example of a political propaganda poster which supported the government's attitudes or positions; and
2. an example of a political cartoon which criticized the same aspect of the government's position.
For example, I might find a poster encouraging people to plant "Victory Gardens" and a cartoon which shows people suffering through rationing, paying for "Liberty Bonds", and then sweating over their gardens.
These examples should be put on a new Google Doc titled "Class name - your name - WWI propaganda & cartoon" and shared with me ([email protected]). After each example, type a paragraph explaining how the poster/cartoon functions (what is it trying to get people to do? How is it trying to persuade people to act/think? What words/images are effective in conveying its message?).

Finish your Op/Ed piece on a contemporary issue. Refer to the copy of Friedman's piece we read & annotated as well as the summary of his style at left.
While we're not going to study US involvement in World War I closely, the sentiment in the nation is worthy of our attention; every educated American ought to be able to know what public opinion was and how it affected citizens of the country. To that end, read and take notes on these two online pages:
World War I on the Home Front
The Espionage and Sedition Acts
There will be a quiz on these two topics on Tuesday.

Homework due Thursday, 11/7:
If you didn't turn in a paragraph on a contemporary issue that you think needs to be addressed, you can do so on Thursday for late credit. See the UN's Global Issues website for ideas (if you don't have one of your own).
Over the next week, you'll be writing a position paper on your contemporary issue of choice. To do so, you need solid factual evidence to support your position. Research the issue at three (3) different sites online and take notes (one page total should be sufficient). How can you tell if you've done enough? Simply, when you can answer these three questions clearly:
1. What is the basic background of the problem (who or what is affected, when & how did it begin, what's the extent of it today)?
2. What is being done to correct the problem now (examples of success & failure)?
3. What else do you think needs to be done (and who should be responsible for it)?
When you feel like you can answer the questions well, talk to one of your parents about the issue. Ask them what they know about it, then tell them what you've learned. Ask them what further questions they have; this will give you a clear idea of what else you need to research. When you are done, turn your page of notes over and write a short paragraph describing how this conversation went. I'll check the notes & this reflection on Thursday.
A NOTE ABOUT USING RELIABLE SOURCES: review points 1, 2, 4, 5, & 8 on this website to help ensure that you are using a reliable internet source.
If you didn't turn in a paragraph on a contemporary issue that you think needs to be addressed, you can do so on Thursday for late credit. See the UN's Global Issues website for ideas (if you don't have one of your own).
Over the next week, you'll be writing a position paper on your contemporary issue of choice. To do so, you need solid factual evidence to support your position. Research the issue at three (3) different sites online and take notes (one page total should be sufficient). How can you tell if you've done enough? Simply, when you can answer these three questions clearly:
1. What is the basic background of the problem (who or what is affected, when & how did it begin, what's the extent of it today)?
2. What is being done to correct the problem now (examples of success & failure)?
3. What else do you think needs to be done (and who should be responsible for it)?

According to this poll, most Americans are unfamiliar with the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. "Obamacare")...yet they nonetheless disapprove of it. We, however, are not going to be so ignorant. Go to the Affordable Care official website and find out answers to these questions. Write 1-3 sentences for each question except question 6, which requires a paragraph response.
1. How will this act affect businesses of fewer than 50 employees?
2. How will it affect businesses of more than 50 employees?
3. What will change for workers who are already covered by their employers?
4. What will change for people who have no insurance right now?
5. Where can a person buy qualifying insurance?
6. Given all this, why is there a fuss about the Affordable Care Act?
