The 3D printing class is learning about different ways this new technology is impacting culture and society. Students research different applications and describe the technical difficulties designers and engineers overcome and the benefits and drawbacks to the economy, environment and society. One student presented about the applications of 3D printing in the food industry - can you imagine printing your dinner in the near future? Other presentations include the history of 3D printing (it is older than you think) and 3D printing and gun control. Students are engaged in learning more about the technology they work with in this elective class and get inspired by the possibilities. More students will soon have access to 3D printing opportunities as well when the library printer comes online sometime in November.

email add-on, FormMule. Before the fair began, students met with their mentors to look at the list of colleges attending the fair and prepare questions to ask. The mentoring lessons for grades 9&10 and 11&12 were slightly different, but the shared Google Docs helped all of the teachers provide consistent preparation for the event. Finally, at the end of the day, students completed the College Fair feedback survey so we can continue to improve this important event.
Generation 2016, this years' seniors, recently took photos and wrote reflections from their years at ASFG. This was a formative, in-class assignment connecting the novel the class is reading, Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, to students' lives. The purpose was to help students see the characters as real people; in the novel, the narrator recounts her time as a student, focusing on different memories of her friends and school. For this assignment, students took a photo of something special about ASFG and then wrote 50 words explaining the significance of the place or person. They submitted their work through Google Classroom, and their teacher copied some of the responses into the document below to share. Students were engaged in taking great photos, connecting to the novel and writing about their life experience.
