Technology- August 28th 2018

We were given sheets of paper to plan out our three-piece puzzle. We were going to fabricate the three-piece puzzle.

Firstly we measured out two rectangles of the same size, then we marked out a criss-cross line that was needed on the paper. Then we made sure that we marked out all of the lines that were needed, after that, we made a minus sign, a capital t, and a small t. This was a very important step because if we didn't measure it right something might go wrong. This was used as a reference for the next step.

After drawing out the lines and the reference we went and got us our wood, and recreated the pattern. It was very easy as I already had an idea of what I'm doing.

On the negative part of the wood, we had to drill holes on the wood until only parts of the inside of the wood are left, afterward, we went and chiseled the leftover parts of the wood.

My next step is to work on the wood with the capital t. I'm gonna use a radial saw and then chisel the leftover wood. Chiseling was very hard for me and I had to be very resilient for me to be able to finish.

Problem Solving

L.O- Communicate what you have learnt and how you will apply what you know to the Year 9 business kete.

What did you learn about?
I learnt about managing our thoughts and problem-solving.

When discussing "Thought challenges" what did you notice about yourself?
When I think I often react negatively, however, I can use thought challenges for example when a work that you didn't want to do was given to you instead of thinking negatively you can say to yourself that I can learn from this. Some other example would be: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1H0tx_TJk2704Uy2MDb9CQU6DFgdH3CXe0AU7v4kJ02M/edit#slide=id.g404da53b86_0_67

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during business and enterprise kete? Give out an example.
During the business and enterprise kete I will be able to overcome challenges by using joint problem-solving. For example, if one of our team members and me had different ideas we would discuss the problem and come up with ideas that will have a win-win situation.
