Key Chains part 2

The 1st step to making you key chain will be to trace it in Google Sketch-up. Save a picture from the internet in a location where you can find it. Then go to file then click import. 

You will have to switch the file types to all supported to find pictures

Place the photo so it is flat on your work space . 

Use line/ free hand tool to trace around object. You may have to adjust after 

You may have to make a hole in your key chain for writing. this is done by drawing the shape. selecting the shape and deleting the shape which will make a hole in the middle of your drawing. 

At the end of you tracing the inside of the shape should turn solid if not you have a gap in the lines which need to be filled.

Next you will expand everything so it has ts 3D effect. 

the next part is up to you mattering on how you want to connect your pieces. you can either add connections to hold everything together or make a backing plate.

My Hopes were high at the beginning 

We tried are best

But in the End

We came 2nd

Key Chains- Day one

Today we will start make your keys chains! The 1st step to do is to fill out the following questions. After you are done you can make your decision on what it will look like.

3D Printing

                                                                                          

What type of 3D printers are there (6)?

·       

·       

·       

·       

·       

·       

If the school has a Maker Bot 3D printer what type is it? Explain how it works

What type of material does it use?

What is the average time for a desktop 3D printer?

What can a 3D printer be used for? (List 5)

1.    

2.    

3.    

4.    

5.    

What have 3D printers been used for in the science community? Why is this important? Who does it benefit?

Think of 6 different keychain ideas that you would be interested in making:

Check with Mr. Sheppard which ones would work. You will have to find a vector or line drawing of the symbol that you would want. After confirming find the symbol.

3D Stage 5

The last part of the 3D design before we start the key chain will be building a fence around your house.

• 4cm wide picket
• 100 cm tall (not including the point)
• 8cm gaps between pickets
• 4cm rail overhang on each side

 

 Paint the inside of the fence a different colour from the outside.

Once the fence is a component copy and past enough to surround your WHOLE yard.

 

• The connections between fence panels needs to be exact
• The connections at the corners need to be exact.

• The length and width of the fence need to be exact (adjust your yard size).

POST the fence alone -THEN post the FENCE in the POOL scene

Pilot Episode

Will will be watching the Pilot episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. A pilot episode is the 1st episode of a TV series. People will watch it and if it gets a high enough rating they will produce more episodes.

My House.... In the Middle of the Street- Stage 2

Part 2

The second thing that you will make in Google Sketchup is your house! Use Google maps to locate your house and take a screen shot of the outside so you can use it to design your house. If you want to bring in a picture of the back of your house the next day you can do so. https://www.google.ca/maps

In the up coming weeks we will learn how to use google sketch up to make key chains. 

Catch-up

Use this day wisely. Many people have NHI's that need to completed by the need of the term. Please ask what your missing.

Work on the following :

• TV Commercial
• Mars One blog
• GJ Blogs (all 5)
•  Game Board
• Movie review
• Ticker Tuesday  

GJ- Day 5

You played the game. You have tried different strategies. You've won - you've lost.

Play once more.

Try something different.  Try something Bold - aggressive - strategic or perturbed yet cardinal.

This is your final posting

Take some unique screen shots and explain how they affected the game.

Finally, your readers want your OPINION and they want the reasons for these opinions.

They do not want a knee jerk (unthinking) response.

They would like to know why you feel the way you do.

GJ- Day 4

BEFORE you begin

write your plan for today. 

Reminisce about the issues you
 had to face last time
 then PREPLAN today's activity. 

 

Start

TAKE NOTES

then ...Blog today's gameplay

            

always for your readers

GJ- Day 3

• Make notes of the items you choose, the order you place them along with size and quantity.
• Play  - but make notes of choices especially when you choose to be aggressive versus conservative.
• for example - when choosing plants to grow - What is the reason for choosing 1 type over another?
• Other than just survival - what is your goal

1. milestones?
2. a telescope? (in order to build a meteor destroying laser)

Now begin to write your opinion of the game and gameplay. Write about your choices and their consequences. Offer ideas to your readers and make predictions should you choose differently. Use screenshots.URL.

GJ- Day 2

Load the game and do the tutorial.

you may want to do this twice...

on your second run-through take screen shots

• Explain how to set up a colony.
• What should you do first and what choices do you have. Add screen shots. URL

Remember the walk-thru?

• What would you do differently?
• What went wrong?
• Offer tips and tricks.
• Show how the help works and what's in each of the menus.

Talk to your readers and guide them through the startup process.

GJ- Day 1

How to Write a Movie Review

How to Write a Movie Review

1. Take notes on the movie as you watch it. Before you sit down to watch a film, get out a notepad or a laptop to take notes. Movies are long, and you can easily forget details or major plot points. Taking notes allows you to jot down little things you can return to later.
   • Make a note every time something sticks out to you, whether it's good or bad. This could be costuming, makeup, set design, music, etc. Think about how this detail relates to the rest of the movie and what it means in the context of your review.
   • Take note of patterns you begin to notice as the movie unfolds.
   • Use the pause button frequently so you make sure not to miss anything, and rewind as necessary.
2. Start with a compelling fact or opinion on the movie. You want to get the reader hooked immediately. This sentence needs to give them a feel for your review and the movie -- is it good, great, terrible, or just okay?
3. Gather basic facts about the movie. You can do this before or after you watch the movie, but you should definitely do it before you write the review, because you'll need to weave the facts into your review as you write. Here's what you need to know:
   • The title of the film, and the year it came out.
   • The director's name.
   • The names of the lead actors.
   • The genre.
4. Give a clear, well-established opinion early on. Don't leave the reader guessing whether you like the movie or not. Let them know early on, so that you can spend the rest of the time "proving" your rating.
5. Back up your opinion with specific evidence. This is where taking notes during the movie really pays off. No one cares about your opinion if you can't give facts that support your argument.
6. Move beyond the obvious plot analysis. Plot is just one piece of a movie, and shouldn't dictate your entire review. Some movies don't have great or compelling plots, but that doesn't mean the movie itself is bad. 
7. Bring your review full-circle in the ending. Give the review some closure, usually by trying back to your opening fact. Remember, people read reviews to decide whether or not they should watch a movie. End on a sentence that tells them.

Movie Review preview

Next week to start the new unit we will be watching and writing a review on the movie, The Martian

Here is a sneak peak at next week:

Mars One

As a lead up to are next project are next blog post will be about if you have what it takes to be an astronaut. There is a link below that goes over the requirements to become an astronaut. read through the requirements noting which ones you meet and which ones you would not meet.
