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 Interpretation:
Why, and how do communities make important concepts known clearly, and quickly to everyone (or most) of its members? Here at AIS/D, how can we make our important big ideas (expectations, opportunities, events etc.) so that everybody is able to interact in life, and in the community!

Design Brief
We want to build poled signs that will be able to direct people to different parts of the school. This is related to communication, because it will help for the school to help new students, and parents to get where they want to easily. I'm going to discuss the design specifications for the pole, and the base of the sign board.

Design Specifications
- Our pole will have to be made out of either metal, or of sturdy wood. - The pole plus the bases height should be about "5, and a 1/2 feet" tall. - The base should be wide enough to hold the upper part of the sign, but not to wide that it will knock people over. - The base should also be made of either wood or metal - The base should be just three long blocks of wood or metal attached to the pole in a way that each block is evenly spread out.
