Tuesday, July 10th (AM) - Ranking Cool

Today we were joined by professor Jessica Hochman from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Jessica studies the media and is an expert on cool.

To begin the day, we looked at a series of cool (iPods!) and not so cool (Birkenstock sandals!) items assembled by Jessica. We each chose our own top five. Then we worked together in two teams to create our Cool Lines (we ranked the items from most cool to least).

Here's team 1's cool line:

Later in the day, we watched the Merchants of Cool, a six-part video about teens and trends. Lunch was rubbery pizza (for the last time!)
