prompts in the questions. This kind of thinking felt like the type of thinking in our defining labs. It reminded me of chemistry and simplifying formulas. You start with the answer you want, then work through one piece at a time to call it forward. I liked using the pipes in terminal. It felt like it almost (in a complicated way) to simplify the problems. As I was working through this lab in particular I thought about teaching writing. Having the ability to call upon these words in interesting combinations would be fun to use in an English class. I did get stuck a few times, but like Unit 1, I just started running things one piece at a time. There were still things that I found confusing. However, in the directions, the breakdowns were really helpful to try and overcome these obstacles. Our group works well together. We have asked one another for help a few times and have done troubleshooting together. It is a really bit help to have this sounding board.
