Unit Question
Why and how do societies convey persistent and important concepts clearly and quickly to all (or most) of its members? Here at AIS/D, how can we better communicate important big ideas (expectations, opportunities, events etc.) so that we are better able to participate in life in the community?

=Unit Question Unpacked= I think that the unit question appeals to me as it is. However, a few changes that I would make would be that my expectations for this year are things like getting honor roll at least once. An opportunity to do so would be to take extra credit projects, and to just try my best. =Design Brief:= People get lost all the time. That's why people invented the direction pole. Our plan is to make a direction pole, that will stand out, be big, bright, and help all students to know the way through out the middle school. Since it must relate to the school spirit, we think it must have something to do with a tiger. It will be big and bright, which we hope will cause people to look at them and to think"oh how lucky we are to find a direction pole".

=Design Specification:=
 * Must be big
 * Must be bright
 * Must catch people's eye
 * Must be within 2 meters tall
 * Must be sturdy
 * Must relate to the school spirit
 * Must be clear
 * Must be easy to read
 * Must be easy to understand
 * Must be safe
 * Must tell the direction

Test: Must check that it does not fall Must check that it is visible from a far Must check that it is safe Must check if new students like it Must check that nobody walks into it
