John holland- ran computer simulations to mimic evolution. Write down the six reasons why we model and give some examples. The goal of creating a model is capturing the essence of a situation. A diverse set of models means you can predict things much better. Many models means there is a lot of conflicting results. Great books- many different proverbs, each with contrary statements. Read about the great books (not just wikipedia) In a big paragraph compare and contrast a great models, curriculum with a great books curriculum. Grading: 2= well done, 1=not well done, 0=not done.
