THE FLIGHT OF IMAGINATION

In the sixth level of English I teach, there is an activity about gadgets in the course text book. I have adapted it. I ask my students to join me in the creation of imaginary devices to solve particular problems. First, I guide them to take sometime to picture an original invention on our minds. Once we are ready, we quick write about it, share our first drafts, and give and receive feedback in terms of likes, questions, and suggestions about our pieces of writing. This semester, during the sharing time, I noticed that their imaginary inventions and the quality of writing were great. Then I asked them to revise and edit their pieces of writing and e-mail them to me. I hope you enjoy two of the imaginary  inventions my students and I created. Do not hesitate to write a comment on the need of devices like these and their existence as well.

THE UNIVERSAL SEAWATER FILTER

By Ambioris Santos Hidalgo

      The wonderful world in which we live in has amazing things to enjoy. However, It has a big list of problems such as global warming, pollution, overpopulation. And on top of that, we have shortage of drinking water. Luckily, the last one is not a problem anymore, because our world is composed by a 70% of water. This means that the solution is on our hands thanks to the Universal Seawater Filter. This gadget is a very powerful machine that is capable of purifying the seawater into drinking water. It is easy to use. You just have to introduce one or two gallons of salty water. Then push one button and the machine will start to boil the water. Then it turns into vapor and the salt disappears. Later, the vapor turns back into water, but this time without salt. This process is named desalination.

The learning device

By Nikaury Ortega

 If I had the opportunity to create something useful that would help millions of people, it would be “The Learning Device”. It is a microchip which will help us learn any language in the world. This small device will be connected to the human skull and send the necessary information to our brain. To connect it, we will need a surgery process in which doctors open the skull and paste the microchip in the lower side of our skull. This device will send the information to the neurons through electric signals. It would take time for this process to be assimilated by the brain. With this device, the learning process would be faster and easier than the common process, and it is not only about languages.  It would help us learn anything we would like to learn.
