Apple To Debut Scalable 3D Touch Tech for iPad-Sized screens after "iPhone 7"

Apple is developing a new pressure-sensing display technology similar to iPhone 6s' 3D Touch that can be scaled up to iPad screen sizes, but the tech won't be ready till next year.  iPhone 6s feature, 3D Touch adds a new control layer to iOS, providing user access to Peek and Pop content previews and handy home screen Quick Actions. On iPhone 6s, 3D Touch measures the distance between iPhone's flexible cover glass and the sensor array, outputting force and location data for each finger press. Billed by Apple as "the next generation of multi-touch," 3D Touch builds on pressure-sensing Force Touch technology introduced with Apple Watch and later added to MacBook trackpads.

Do Now: Writing Prompt(Cloak)

If I had been chosen to wear an invisible cloak and had to do 1 good deed I would do common deeds like throwing at the garbage, dishes, holding the door open, etc. Even though I do little chores, I am still helping out the community and I can help outside of the community by helping with groceries, helping with the cart, helping and elderly man/woman cross the street. I can also mow the lawn, rake leaves, shovel snow, etc. I can help people move things like a couch, chair, etc.

The bigger deeds I would do would be helping out the poor and homeless. I would give them food, water, and clothes. I would try to get many supplies including pillows, blankets, small beds, etc. Bringing these items to the poor and homeless would make a big difference and I would't mind not being credited because people shouldn't starve or live uncomfortably. 

Do Now Writing Prompt

If I could add a new class into our school curriculum that we don't have, I would add a Roman class where we get to learn Roman instead of just Spanish and Italian. Since Spanish and Italian are similar it would be nice to have a whole new different language. The class would be taken some time during school as an elective. The students would learn how to speak Roman throughout the school year and they would do exercises to help practice speaking Roman. They will practice writing in Roman and just learn how to make sentences and there will be more advanced classes for the ones who already know how to speak Roman.

It would look like every other classroom, nothing special and it would feel different because I'm assuming that Roman is much different from Spanish and Italian. It would have a different atmosphere because we always had Spanish and Italian and it would be nice to have a different language class. It would sound like we are speaking Roman obviously and it would sound different and we wouldn't be used to it. The students would take tests and quizzes to see how they are doing and they would also take an SGO at the beginning of the year and take it again at the end of the year to see how much they learned. They would also take midterms and take finals.
