HS: House in Perspective

You are to draw a house in two point perspective. You may choose bird's eye, worm's eye, or human perspective. Once you've made your drawing use different brushes and textures to embellish your drawing. Remember that you can import images, textures, etc.

Your house must be for one of the American creatures found on this page:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_folklore_legendary_creatures .

1. You will begin by choosing a creature and emailing to me your choice and why you made it. 
2. You will also send to me a brief description of your house idea in words, as well as an image, which can be a rough drawing. 
3. You will use proper email etiquette:

1. A subject that explains succinctly your email.
2. A body, written in complete sentences and with correct grammar and syntax where appropriate.
3. A description of your image.
4. A signature, which doesn't mean your name--although it could be that. A signature personalizes your email.

MS: Combination Wrench Cut Down

We are going to design a combination wrench that folds in two places so that it will be reduced in length by 1/3 of its original length.

Your folds can be anywhere you choose, but the wrench still has to function as a wrench.

We will employ an Engineering Design Process as shown here.

We will focus on the first four steps, and with your group you will create a shared Google Doc to document your team's work.

Your steps:

• create a shared doc
• define your mission!
• title your doc according to your mission statement
• state the idea and perimeters
• and brainstorm a solution to execute your mission.

9th Graders: Welcome Back!

I hope that all y'all had a great break and are well rested!

After we catch up on your comings and goings from over the break, I'd love to spend the first couple of days getting you used to working again.

I have some information that I need to put out concerning tools and their usage. Before you can use the drill press or bandsaw it will be necessary for you to take a written assessment, as well as a practical test, where you'll show me that you know how to safely use the equipment.

Don't forget to blog!
