I implemented Mrs. Dickson's unintended inspiration. If you recall from "Mrs. Dickson's Protein Sprayer," I took a misunderstood phrase and came up with the idea of taking random nouns and verbs to make a prompt to build a physical device. Builders not only have to understand the words they get, but then they would have to build a thing that logically tied-into those words.
As always, the the students exceed expectations. One selected the words "house" and "deliver." I would have thought that a "house deliverer" would be something that delivered houses. But that is not what she thought. Her house deliverer was a house that delivered things.
The next step is going to be making a story, in any form, based upon the thing they build.
