Homework on Chapter 3: A Whole New Mind

While reading this chapter, I began to think of a short video clip that I showed to the students this last year in an effort to show the way different designers work together to design a new car. One of the team created a draft sketch of the car, while another had to design parts to make it work. A third designer concentrated on the aesthetic qualities of the interior such as car seat fabric and carpets. This venture required a great deal of creativity and collaboration among them to create a protype car to present at a new car show in Chicago. These jobs involved the creation of a new car, not the actual building of it.
From what I read, it's obvious that right- brain thinking is becoming more of a necessity in this world we're in. The Rainbow Project is a wonderful addition to recognize the value of those students who may not excell at the left-brained designed SAT tests.
