Technology Wood/Evaluation

1. How well did I do in completing all of the things that I needed to do for this project?
I did all the steps correctly as instructed.
2. The design ideas?
I had approximately 8 choices of design ideas in mind. The following list: A box, Pencil holder, Jewelry tree, Sauce/Seasoning holder, Phone holder, Mirror, Art stand.   
3. The final choice?
My final choice of what I wished to create was, a 'phone holder'
4. The working drawing?
The working drawing of my phone holder, included the measurements of the length and width of the phone that will be used for this project. And a full-size drawing of the chosen design, marked out with wood.
5. The marking out?
I used a 360cm piece of wood, to mark out my full-sized working drawing. I also used the same piece of wood to mark out the joints, for wood thickness. 
6. The sawing?
I firstly used the saw to cut 100cm of wood, for the stand. Then I used it a couple of times to cut through my joints, while Mr.Grundy had other shortcuts to use.
7. The chiselling?
I used a chisel together with a mallet, to carve out any remaining chips of wood from the inside of my joints. 
8. The assembly?
The last and final added bits and pieces to accomplish my project, was the side pieces which were clued in place, to secure the phone from falling to the side. And the last added piece to my project was the bottom stand, to maintain and support the phone to stand firmly. 
9. Looking at what you have produced:
10. Does it work?
Yes, and is in good condition!
11. Does it look good?
Yes, it looks creative.
12. Is there anything that you would change, if you were to make the same project again?
No, it's perfectly fine.
13. Is there anything else you wish to say about it?
I found it partly easy and hard to create. But I enjoyed designing and creating this project, as an individual!

Literary Luminary

Today for my given reading task, I have completed a activity called 'LITERARY LUMINARY'. This task has three interesting/confusing passages from the book I have chosen. And explains why I chose
each one.
  

Text Connector

Today I have finished a reading task labeled "Text Connector". This task helps to relate to yourself, other books you've read, and the lidget world. I have come up with 2 main ideas each, I believe that relate to TS, TT & TW.

Succinct Summariser

Today I have completed another reading task, for the book "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". This task is called "Succinct Summariser", the goal is to find keywords in the text, and summarize the first two chapters.

Technology Wood/The Process

Tools:

Steel rule

Tri-square

Mallet

Marking gauge

Wood chisel

Claw hammer

Backed saw

Bench hook

The Process:

Step 1. I firstly used a: Pencil, paper, ruler and piece of wood, to make a full size working drawing of my phone holder... this is so I know it is possible to make and I can plan it out incase a mistake occurs on my piece of wood (which is not erasable).

Step 2. I used a pencil, tri-square, and ruler to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the piece of wood.

Step 3. I marked a square line (at 90 degrees) across and vertically, using a:pencil, ruler and tri-square.
Step 4. I cut off the first piece of wood using a Backed saw and bench hook.
Step 5. I then marked out the joint by using a piece of wood (for wood thickness), pencil, tri-square and marking gauge.
Step 6. Next, I used a Backed saw to cut upon the marked line used by the marking gauge. 
Step 7. Then I used a sharp Wood chisel and Mallet, to carve out the remaining wood pieces, to create the joint.
Step 8. I then added my 100cm piece of wood to my joint, and left it to glue together for a while.
Step 9. The assembly: I then traced two of the side pieces on to a thin, flat piece of wood.
Step 10. Next Mr.Grundy Cut out the two pieces using a cutting machine. Then were glued one on each side of the phone holder.
Step 11. Lastly I added a thick, but short length piece of wood into one of the created joints, to help the phone stand firm onto the project. 

2019 GOALS!

Yesterday for reports, I've finished an Goal presentation. I have goals each for reading, writing, and math. It contains my current level, where I was previously, what my goal is, and what my favourite activity was. I am in working within the curriculum!
