In this video made by me and Kevin, we illustrate the potential effects and risks of climate change as a village gets destroyed.

Part 1

At the start of the unit I could choose to design anything I wanted. I decided to make a lamp. My lamp was to provide mood lighting in my bedroom, and it could also be cool to have something I made in my bedroom.

At the start I had the light bulb sticking out of the lamp and every face decorated, but then I realized it was too hard to make the bulb fit perfectly and that the bottom wasn’t going to be seen, so I made it into a cube with the lamp inside and plain on the bottom (also added “tissue paper”).

I searched lamp designs on Google, and then I combined 5 of the designs together into my lamp (because every design had every face identical). I had squares, rectangles, random shapes, random bigger shapes, and a ying yang symbol on the top. I think overall my design was successful because I got to finish it and it looks nice.

Part 2

During this process, I learned how to use a lot of tools in Fusion. During the process ofmaking my design, I did not really find anything challenging, but I think making the random shapes on one of my sides was really frustrating because some of the shapes drawn multiple times and they were overlapping, and I had to delete them on by one.  However, it was cool because that side looked really nice at the end. When I was stuck, the first thing I did was go to the teacher, because it stopped me from getting stuck on one thing for too long.

part 3

One tip would be to pay more attention at the start when the teacher is introducing how to use each tool so you would know what to do later in the course. Personally, I would have chosen to sit with people who work better instead of those who don’t pay attention. I think the course was nice.

I was known as Gabin.  I lived in Paris, only two districts away from the terrific Bastille. My only roommates were the only seven friends I had, and we worked in a wheat field as peasants. We were part of the Third Estate, which contained all of the unprivileged and the peasants. We worked extremely hard for our own lives, yet something I never stop regretting happens to bring me imprisoned in the horrific Bastille…

Continuity:

The French Revolution was a tremendously significant event of French History, yet many aspects of the country remained the same. People often call the Revolution “Years of Blood”, showing how violence and mass killings had continued to happen throughout these homicidal years, which is something very common in revolutions. Key events with mass killings include the September Massacres and the Reign of the Terror. Moreover, Roman Catholicism existed during the entire Revolution. Catholicism still remained the main religion for most of the time in the years of the Revolution. These two were what stayed the same from prior Revolution to after Revolution.

Change:

Regardless of all the similarities compared to pre-Revolution, the Revolution has brought life-changing modifications to the country.  One of the outstanding changes we have succeeded to make was equality over the population.  The Declaration of Rights of Man was evident for this and it demonstrated that the law was superior to anything else. It ensured that everyone was born to, unlike before, be treated equally, and ended many nobles’ rights. Additionally, the Revolution had established democracy, which meant that the monarchy no longer existed and feudalism was abandoned. The Execution of the King was a great example of this evolution, because from that moment Louis XVI no longer had a head, no one came to dictate the country and its people, and the new yet stronger democratic government was established. These two changes have acted as evidence as our hard work throughout the entire battle for our own goods, and shown how peasants can also change the country, or even the world.

REFLECTION

Lucas & Benjamin

Autumn is here, and the temperature is getting colder. The hot water turns cold very quickly, and our goal was to make a cup insulator that will keep the water hot, and not burn yourself with the hot water.

We first made a prototype that covered the cup, so that we could copy it with the evafoam. It went really well, we could fit the cup easily, we would burn ourselves and the insulator felt really good. The only big problem we had was that it was hard to take out, and the dried hot glue sticking out of the edges made our insulator look ugly.

For our cup insulator, we fixed the issue that is looks bad

Here is the reflection

But anyway, here is what out cup looks like now, after we cut off the dried glue edges.

I am really proud that me and my partner worked together and compromised.

Next time, we will try to focus on looks more, and we will try to make it easier to use.

The hardest thing of this project was to glue the shape together, as we were making an insulator that covers the cup.

We learned that teamwork was important, and that we should use the prototype.
