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 Interpreted:
Why and how do societys need to convay ideas and and discussions. At AIS/D what can we do to better communicate activities/news. So that we contribute and participate in the community.

Design Brief :
I will make a cabinet-board combo, the cabinet will be divided into two sections where students can write their "requests" and "event proposals" to the teachers by putting in letters in the slits of the cabinet sections. There will be a notice board attached to the side of the cabinet which will be divided into three sections, "announcements to students", "events confirmation", and "replies to requests". This effectively helps communication in AISD between teachers and students so that our community is more organized.
