Unit 1 Question
Why and how do people need to organize themselves in different ways? Or how do I stop getting detentions for forgetting my homework?

How do people need to organize themselves? How do i stop getting detentions for not turning in my homework?

This unit question connects with me because i am not that organized =Reinterpret= How can people organize themselves.How do i stop from getting detention?

The U.Q relates to me because i am naturally unorganized & i have to clean my room almost every day or i will just stop and will most likely not clean it until my mum tells me to. I could make a box that could help me organize myself so i would be able to not mess myself up. =Design Cycle - Investigation= =Guiding Questions!!!!= =Design Specification= =Design Brief= My mum tries to make me organize my room about twice a week. So in order to stay organized i will be building an organizer for myself. I will be able to keep my folder and textbooks in the organizer i might build will help be organized for my room and my school subjects so i wont forget thing so often My design: my design will be 1 meter long and will be placed on my desk it will be able to fit all of my textbooks and by folders it will look apealling to my eye and will have the color of blue =Designs= Design 1 Design 2 == = = = = =Inspiration:= http://img0.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.250869820.jpg This photo is my inspiration because it look almost like what i want to make instead of 3x5 cubby i will be making a 1x2 cubby for my books, paper, folders. the reason why mine will be very small is because i need it to be able to fit by 1m by 1m unit in my room. I also need my cubby to not be so big that it doesn't look good. This is another cubby that also inspires me with my idea. i will have two cubbies one for textbooks and foldears and one for books and pencil cases =Plan=
