Final Designi

My final design is:

*

I chose this design because: There is rubbish in the school and you have to bin it so there is no more rubbish.



Evaluation:

* Does your sign meet all the specifications and requirements of the brief? If so, how?

* What is the purpose of your sign? Do you think your sign will help eliminate a problem in the school or street? If so, how? Bin it, maybe, because they might respect the signs

* What did you do well? Drawing my pictures

* What difficulties did you come across while making your sign? Drawing the signs

* What can you do next time to improve your project? Finish it faster

Planning Log

Planning Log

Keep a record of both what you intend to do and what you did over the course of the next 3 weeks as we work through the Technology Process.

	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7
What I plan to do	Brainstorm issues	research question	designing signs planning log
Materials I will need	paper, pen, ideas	google docs	tux paint, google docs, hyper studio
People/Sources I need to consult for more information.	peers, friends, yourself, teacher	peers, friends, Yr 7&8 kids	Yr 7&8 peers, friends, kids
What did you find difficult and why?	to come up with 1 problem to focus on	to get the form done and sent
What I will do next as a result of any difficulties.	get more ideas for a good sign	Analyse the data check the answers

STAKEHOLDERS

The Stakeholders are the people who have an effect on the production of your product

The Primary Stakeholder is your client ie. the person or community of people that your sign is going to be created for. eg. ….

Wider Community Stakeholders:	Key Stakeholders:	Primary Stakeholder:
Parents, visitors, care - givers, communitiy	Students, Yr 7&8, teachers	AfeenZ, Tia, Kezia

ATTRIBUTES: These describe the physical (what it is like) and functional (what it will do) characteristics of a product. These characteristics are key or essential for the successful function of a product and should be re- evaluated at each stage of the design process.

With your sign in mind, complete the following attributes table:

Attribute	Method of Measurement	Specification
eg. Eye catching	sign will appeal (be noticed) by stakeholders	Sign must be clear, stand out and be creative
Size	small, medium, large	big enough to fit words, images
Colour	appealing, bright	easy to read, stand out, readable
Create awareness (e.g. clear message)	stand out	make it stand out by using the right colours
Durable/ Weather resistant	water proof	so when it rains nothing gets wrong with it
Ideal location (in the right area)	street, breeze	so it doesn't get wet

Designing a sign

Names of people in my group: Athena,Tia, Kezia

Your task is to design a sign that will clearly assist in eliminating a problem within our school.

Make sure you are clear what the task is.

Can you identify the key words in this task (highlight them and discuss it with a buddy)

Thinking about signs and signage
No smoking keep a smoke free area. No smoking inside
Give way traffic sign. Look out for traffic e.g cars, trains, buses and many more.
Slow Down Near a pedestrian. Traffic Sign.

* Gum
* Rubbish
* Shoes
* Bags
* Bullying
* Uniform
* Dramas

Mr Burts Korero

On Thursdays, team five have assembly in the street. Mr Burt recently came back from over seas. He talked to us about three things. First ‘Gum is Dumb’, ‘Uniform’ and Schools in over seas. He told us so much about the rich and the poor schools there.

First he talked to us about Gum. People here at our school are out of control with chewing gum. There is a good reason why that gum is not allowed here at school. The reason why is because it can get stuck to furniture and it also looks very ugly on our school grounds. It is also bad chewing gum then you swallow it because people say that if you swallow gum, it will come out eight years later.

There are many schools overseas that have no money. Some schools don’t have a music teacher or even a sport teacher. Some teachers sadly get fired because the school does not have enough money to pay them. He also told us that they have teachers that only work four days a week. Mr Burt said that we are lucky to have a music teacher, also a sports coordinator and that it is a privilege to have these net books and have these kinds of working tools that we use here.

Now that he has told us about schools over seas, it is an honour being here at this school and his talk also made us feel sad about the people in other countries. Now that we know we are one of the best schools in the world.
