Completing My Keychain
I think that it really helped that I chose Plastic as my material
because the color of my key chain is pretty and bright. My
design also happens to be pretty innovative creating a good
color-combination for it. I think that some of my strengths were
while filing the edges and polishing my keychain. I also think that it really
made a difference in the quality that I achieved because of the materials
that I chose. At first, it was difficult to file off the edges of my puzzle piece,
but once I switched to a smaller file, it was much easier for me to file off
the edges. By the end of thirty minutes, I has perfectly rounded edges.
One new thing that I learnt about in class was the buffing machine. It was
amazing how it smoothed the plastic and polished the puzzle piece.
I really had a hard time rounding the corners of my puzzle piece. I
constantly kept walking up to the teacher and asked him if it was enough. I
really had a hard time rounding all the corners of the puzzle piece. I also
think that I could have filed my project better to achieve finer results. Now,
that I look at my project, my eyes immediately go towards the imperfections
and the filing errors I made. While filing, I over did some of the sides making
n extra-thin and frail. It probably would have had a better appearance and
feel If I had really focused.
I think that I was very distracted. I kept watching
my friends do their work and watch how they
created their designs. I also think that I could have
concentrated better if I was focused leading into a
much better and sturdy final outcome.
The leaner profile was definitely risk taker because I
was learning about new kinds of tools and learning
how to use new materials such as plastic and
aluminum.
Approaches to learning because I learnt about
new things and refreshed my memory about
things that I learnt last year.

3. CUTTING OUT MY MONKEY
October 20th 2010
One of my strengths today, was that I used my time productively.
I finished measuring and marking out my work and also
managed to figure out how to use a coping saw in about ten
minutes. I followed my flow chart and realized the mistakes I
made while measuring and marking out and remarked them. I
think that I was good at cutting my wood because i landed up
the perfect shape for my toy.
I think that I did not maintain my blade that well
because I broke a coping saw. And I think that
there are many coping saws to be broken in the
future. I think that didn't do such a good job at
measuring and marking out my project because
it was messy and very hard to figure out.
I think that next time I should try and be
more careful at using the coping saws. I
think that I could have done a better job
my concentrating at measuring and
marking out my piece better so that I could
have achieved a more precise and fine
I think that my learner profile was similar
to the learner profile of the month that is
risk taker. I learnt about many different
kinds of saws, their operation and how to
use them. I also am using different kinds
of materials to make different parts of a
project that II have never made before.
I think that the Area Of Interaction
was Approaches to learning because
I was learning how to use different
kinds of saws to make different
curves in my piece of wood.
