Writing Sprint #10

The first desks had a hole for the ink pot, that students used with a quill or nib pen. Because paper, ink, and quills were expensive, younger students wrote their assignments on a slate (mini chalk board) using chalk. Often these supplies belonged to the school and were lent to students for the lesson.




The next generation of desk had tray for your pencil or pen. Paper was less of a luxury and students used binders, and notebooks and wrote with ball point pens. Students are responsible of purchasing and brining their own supplies.



What will the desks of the future look like?  Describe it, draw a sketch of it. What supplies will students be carrying? Describe it sketch it.
