When you have reviewed the information, use a blank piece of grid paper to create a sketch of our Technology Room. See how accurate you can be, and make sure to list the scale you are working in. Turn in your work for review. If you get done early, you can work on a Rough Sketch of all the rooms around the Technology Lab for practice. Turn in both worksheets for review and credit.
HOMEWORK: Tonight you should try to visit a home improvement store (Lowes, Home Depot, True Value, or a kitchen & bath store) and look at some of the documents that are available to help you design specific spaces. Choose one type of document, and with the permission of your parents, and the owners of the store, take the documents home and work on a closet in your home. Make sure to use a tape measure to measure all the dimensions in the closet. Your next task will be to redesign a closet (at home, or at school). You can choose any design elements you wish. You must design, price, and report on what the project will cost, and an estimate of the time and materials you will use. We will be expanding on each of these requirements next week during class, and scaffolding the steps of this project so everyone can keep up. Let me know if you have any questions. Remember to follow the Problem Solving Steps we outlined in the beginning of the program. Define the Problem, Prepare a Solution, Try to Solve it, and Reflect on all steps and at the completion of the project. Have fun with this project.
