20% Project Friday December 19

Today, Stuart, Mallory, and I worked on our 20% Project. We worked on our power point for our presentation. We have really got it working good! Also, construction has been started. The Stretcher will be finished by Christmas break. There was a lot of noise this 20% day, because we are all excited to leave for Christmas break. Today, I did my slides and sent them to Mallory. She is going to put all of our slides together to make a big final presentation. Also the modeling for the stretcher pictures will be taken over Christmas break and we will have videos in our final presentation. I think we are very ready for this presentation and everything will run smoothly. The presentation will be a success if we all practice our slides and we should have the presentation great, and after Christmas break we will be able to bring in the final draft of the Stretcher.

20% Project Friday December 13

Today, we worked on our 20% project's final presentation. We also went over some things. Mallory was unable to start the construction because of a cheer competition. We will have The Stretcher completed by Christmas break, so when we come back for the final presentation, we will be able to show pictures of the model. Also, over Christmas break Mallory will get her friend from cheer to model The Stretcher and show how it really works. Also during 20% time today Bailey, a girl in our class, is doing her 20% project on a Zombie movie. She practiced her make up skills on Stuart and I's wrists. The cuts look very real. Now getting back to the Stretcher, we have our model laid out and we are ready to start construction. The construction and the materials due date are a little behind but that is okay, as long as we will be done by the end of the semester. All in all, the Stretcher will be done by Christmas break!

20% Project Friday December 6

Today, Mallory, Stuart, and I used the white board to draw a two dimensional model of The Stretcher, using expo markers. We drew the block of wood over the door. The block of wood had the eye screws in it, with the carabiners and the two pulleys. Attached to the pulleys we had the rope with the foot hole on the left side. (The foot hole could also be used for arms or any other body part you want stretched.) This was our front view picture, our side view picture consisted of the washer, with the flat rope tied in a knot with it. We also did some planning for our end of the year power point, we decided that Mallory's slides would be on: supplies, construction, resolved hook issue/replacement. Stuart's slides would be on: due dates, changed supplies=changed money, and the hook. My slides will be on: model slide, tips, how to use it. Then, we are all going to participate in the summary slide. Also, The Stretcher is not constructed due to the fact Mallory had the flu.
