Unit Question (UQ)
Why and how do societies convey the importance of global issues to its members? Here at AISD how can we promote the importance global issues so that we can better live the school's vision of “being stewards of a just and sustainable world?"

Why and how do societies such as us, AIS/D communicate the importance of global issue to it's members. Here at AIS/D how can we better communicate about important problems that are going around the world so that we can reach the school's vision for a just and sustainable world and make it better? I think we should all participate on reaching our school's vision and help each other solve global issues.x
 * Unit Question Interpreted**

Wood Observation:

 * Smooth on top
 * 6 sides
 * Strong
 * Has different patterns and colors on each side
 * Rough on the sides
 * Not hollow
 * Has a Arc
 * Little holes on the top if you look carefully
 * Splinters
 * had tunnels
 * had holes
 * They had darker colors on the sides
 * Lighter colors on the top
 * Thick
 * A shape of a rectangle prism

My design will solve the Unit Question because it is trying to fix a global issue. I'm trying help the world by reducing deforestation. My design will be a sign which would talk about lessening wood ussage. This product is for the people who waste wood and cut wood for no reason. I would make my product in English because I might put the sign in D.T. where people like me ussually use wood. If my project is somewhere next to the wood recycling bin, it my be really useful.

Guiding Questions: 12/10/1
The product will go next to my desk, hallway or in a class room Since the sign is not big, it'll be finished in time. The words on it will communicate and try to stop pollution which is my chosen topic. Yes, it will communicate the Global issue (Wasting water) to the people. I will use all material there is in the D.T. class. My project will look like the cup on the picture. But it'll have words on the sides saying don't waste water.
 * Where will the product go?
 * Will it be able to make in the time given?
 * Does it communicate the Global issue chosen?
 * Does it solve the unit question?
 * What materials will I use to make it?
 * What will my project will look like?

=Design=



I chose the first design because i thinks it looks better and i think it is more creative. I think i would be able to do this in the amount of time we have.

Create
The create phase is when you make your product or solution. In this phase you will follow your plan to build your product. You must also record your process after each class in a **process journal**. In this phase you may make new discoveries, think of new ideas or run into problems that you did not anticipate. This can be very frustrating but it can also be one of the most exciting and creative parts of the design cycle.

It is **OK** to make changes to your plan in the creation phase!

During the creation phase you must record your process after each class**.** Each entry must include:
 * Process Journal:**


 * Date
 * What you intended to accomplish that day (from your plan)
 * What you actually accomplished
 * What challenges you faced
 * What changes you made to your plan and why
 * Reflections on the over all process
 * Take photographs or screen shots to explain the process.

__January 11, 2012__
Today, I selected my wood for the base and I cut it 12 by 8. Then i printed my design out and I decided to use acrylic. I glued my printed design on the acrylic and cut it with the scroll saw to spread out the pieces. By the end of class, i had almost finish everything. i only need to cut out my design and glue it on.

Evaluate

 * Product Evaluation:**

Quality:I __think i did a really good job. I think it's high quality.__ __I think it's quite strong except for the letters.__ __In my opinion it looks really good. All my peers told me that i did a really good job.__ __I'll put it next to a water fountain. So when people come to drink, they will see the sign.__ __I think i used a good amount fo appropriate materials because everything except for the base was from the recycle.__ __I think it should be sold about 500 taka at least because i used a lot of different material. I also put a lot of effort in to this.__ __It sends a message to people of Bangladesh that we should save water. I was really surprised how fast i worked and how much i had finished. I think my strengths are in the scrollsaw. I think i did a really good job on my time managment. I learned what should be the thickness of the letters not to crack or break it while cutting it in the scrollsaw. I think I followed all the steps in the design cycle, However, I kept on changing my plans. And overall, I think i did a really god job in DT this quarter.__
