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? Why do people use different ways of organization. How do I remember to do my homework and turn it in on time What I think of the unit question is that it means how can I organize myself better, and how can I be more responsible. When you forget your home work your parents get angry and your grade goes down. When you organize your self and use things to remember, then you can remember your homework. This can relate to me, because if I organized myself differently then I would not forget my things as often as I do. Things that I could do are to put my stuff in my back pack the night before, and make sure my binders are neat.

Design Brief

1. A shelf with four sections, and a small section for other stuff. 2. It is for people who mix their own books up with their school books. 3. It will help keep your school books stay in one place so that you don't get mixed up.

Design Specification 1. I will use wood, nails, glue, paint, and maybe acrilic. 2. I want it to be red, and blue. 3. Size not decided. 4. It will have miter joints on all edges.

Guidline Questions Will people think it is atractive? Will my product be safe Do I have my matirials? Will it help my be organized? Test Drop Test: Is it stable? Touch Test: Is it safe? Using Test: Does it actually help and work?

Guidline Questions: Answers

it will be safe if I make sure that it does not have shar p edges. Yes, I think I will have all the matirials need. Yes, it will help me be organized.

Book Shelf: Drawn well, and easy to understand. I could have made this look better, and not so simple.



Book Organizer: Easy to use and not complex. Could be made with more effort.

Book Holds: Quite easy to understand what it is, but not built well. I could have asked Mr. Muller to help me with building it.

I am making the second design because I think it will really help me, and will be easy to use.

Today I started to sand my base for my product. Olivia helped my use the sanding machien. I used the sanding machien so that it was easier and faster to sand. I thought it was fun sanding it, because the sanding machien vibrates when you turn it on. I did not make anychanges except for rounding the edges because I never thought of doing that before.

Process Journal: October 16, 2011 Today I finished sanding both of my parts and next class I will glue them together. I felt happy finishing my sanding even though it was fun it was tiring. I sill have not made any changes.

Process Journal: October 18, 2011 Today I was trying to figure out where the middle of my base was. After I sanded it I used a ruler to measure the side of the base and it looked like it was 8.8, so I asked Mr. Muller to help me find the exact middle because I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. Mr. Muller used a tape measure to measure the side and it said 9 inches. So now I know to use a tape measure instead of a ruler because tape measures are usually more accurate. I felt happy after I found out that the measurmeant had not changed because It took a long time finding the exact middle. I still have not made any changes to my product.

Process Journal: October 20, 2011 Today I glued both of my parts together. After that I tested my product in my locker and it worked well. It fit the way I wanted it to and worked the way I wanted it to. I felt happy that It worked well and that it fit. Next class I will put nails in at the bottom, and I have not changed anything.

Process Journal: October 25, 2011: Today I drew a line down the middle of the bottom of my product to put nails at the bottom.



Today I took my screws out and drilled a hole back in so that the nail went completely in. Then I started to paint it, but I realized that the news paper under my product was sticking to my product so Mr. Hassan helped me put these blue triangles under it. I decided to paint my product green instead of purple. I am happy on how my product has turned out so far.

Today I sanded my product again so that the dripped paint would not make my product look weird. So then I started to paint my product green.

So far, I have change the thatched roof on my birdhouse design, to a flat roof. Now I am working on this with Pheobe, Morgan, and Marissa. We were making the lines to cut our pats, but we did the measurments wrong, thats what we are going to do next class.

January 12th, 2012

Today, we are going to try and cut our parts for our birdhouse properly, and we did. We have painted the insides purple, and will do that next class too.

January 16th, 2012

We finished painting all sides purple today. We had to paint all of it purple because the paint on the inner part dripped on to the outer side. We don't think that we will have enough time to finish, so I think that I might come in during lunch to finish it.
