Designed by Steve Wozniak, with help from fellow co-founder Steve Jobs, the 8bit system revolutionized the home computer market. The system came with a key board and color monitor.

Standover Man Project For the next three class periods, we’re going to work on a project that asks you to create a story similar to Max’s Standover Man. Before we start writing our own, we’re going to look back at Max’s story and see what makes it tick. With your group, with a partner, or by yourselves, take a few minutes to read back through The Standover Man (remember, it’s not copied clearly in your books – you’ll need that packet I gave you for individual reading). Once you’ve read through the story, discuss questions #1-4 with your groups and write down your responses to each.

Standover Man Project Individually, respond to #5 and #6 on your own. If you can’t think of a good theme/lesson/message, think about something important that’s happened to you. A death, a birth, a friend gained or lost, a time when you found yourself having to change or adapt to a situation… In most of these events, a lesson can be found. 5. Reflect on yourself: What is a theme, message, or lesson you have experienced in your life that is important to you? 6. Explain how you have learned this message – what has happened in your life that relates to your chosen message or theme?
