Last two days of class 4/23 and 4/24

yesterday in class we a little taste of what it was actually like to live back then in the west and in a soddie house. There was a stand, sit and smell station. At the stand, we got to go into a space about as big as the soddies back then and actually experience what it would be like, and how little of space you had to work with. At the sit station, you had to sit for a minute straight without moving while your picture was taken to represent what they had to do back in the early 1900's in order to get a picture, which is probably why most people didn't smile. At the smell station there were two bags full of grass and soil and we each smelled it and wrote what we thought. It was pretty distinct, not necessarily a bad smell, just very strong. Today in class, we worked on our presentations which we will present friday to the entrepreneurs who we will try to sell our product too. My product is the steel plow. I learned that it was very different from the old wooden one, and actually 10,000 of them were sold in a matter of two or three years.
