Tiny House Project

                This semester in Math we were assigned to do a project called, The Tiny House Project. We were first supposed to actually build a tiny house on SketchUp. I made my sketch up tiny house and I finished it but their was still one problem. I accidentally made my measurements to big, so I had to do an improvised 2d floor plan of Antony's tiny house. We also learned along this project that their was a budget. Tiny houses normally cost around 23,000 US dollars, so we had to make that our budget. I choose this design, because I think it looks pretty nice and also because it makes the house look bigger. This is mainly a one room house (except for the bathroom and closet). This design makes the Tiny house in general look so much bigger and that you have a confined space to live in. Cozy and snug, but on the other hand also spacious. As you can see in the picture of my Tiny house below, I choose to use a sliding glass door to occupy one of my wall spaces. I choose this because it gives you the sense that the house is bigger than it actually is. I also placed many windows to give the sense of more space. All of this I learned with the videos that Mrs Murray showed us in class.

        After the Tiny House you were assigned to make a 2d floor plan of your house. In my case I did Antony's. After that we had to do all the calculations and the math part of the project. I had to calculate to find the are of each window, wall and doorway. We used a helpful tool on SketchUp that measures things in feet for you. I did the base times height for each one and rounded it to the nearest whole number. After I found out these calculations I checked over them again and checked with Mrs Murray to make sure it was all correct. After I did that I moved on to do the price table. I found out the things that I was going to buy on amazon and then write them down and put their prices as you can see down below. You have to follow the budget and you can not go over 23,000 US dollars. You also need to pay for paint and those supplies.

        Overall I think that I was pretty happy with my Tiny House project. Next time I think that I can improve on making my measurements a bit more accurate.

City of Ember Evaluation Essay

               The last summative assignment that we had to do in class was about the book we recently read, The City of Ember. We were assigned to do a summative essay comparing which was better, the book or the movie. We watched both the movie and the book. We all had to compare both of the versions of the story and see which one is better. We had to watch both the movie and the book and do a comparison
                   The three categories that we were supposed to be evaluated in, was Ideas, Organization, and Conventions. I thought that after studying the rubric and looking at my essay and re-reading it several times, I think that in the Ideas part I should get a 4 or maybe even a 5. I think I should get this because when writing my piece I took extra care of ideas and conventions as well to see what I could fix and what needed improvement.
      Overall I think that I should maybe get a 5 because I took  lot of care in my writing piece.

Mini Presentation Reflection

              Presentations take lots of work to prepare and to create. They are long processes that should take a lot of time. In humanities this quarter we were assigned to do a prenstantation on google docs about the book, The City of Ember that we just read. We each we assigned to do two slides on either
