Criteria E- Evaluate

Evaluation- Criteria E
This project was an overall fun assignment. It was all confusing and sometimes hard but it was fun when it came to the creating part. The project was a success it went the way I wanted to. It wasn’t 100 percent good or nice but it was more than the half I was expecting.
The project I had been working on was the fence. I had come to the conclusion of changing the common, Mongolian, ger district fence because it came to me that it was the most important part. The fence that I had designed was fairly good but it was slightly different than what I had on paper. If only I had used more clay and super glue the toothpicks might have made a better role at being a fence. I had only used clay which made the toothpicks all wobbly and unstable. It seems that an ice-cream stick would have been better than a toothpick. Since the toothpick was too small and tiny, I ended up using more than I expected and ended up being all wobbly and weak.
The fence is an important part of the ger district, since it allows the people to claim land and also to mark their territory. Also the fence is an important part because it allows privacy and un-welcomed animals and people from invading. The fence keeps out stranger and also reduces or even prevents theft. During the winter time when they need a refrigerator they tend to use the ger top as one, they place it on the top and since it’s cold it prevents it from melting. If there isn’t a fence during times like this it is obvious that the things placed on the ger tops will end up being stolen. With this in mind, it proves that a fence is essential.
The fence I had designed and built could have been better. It could have been better by being much stable and much stronger. I could have also used my times wisely. For the investigation I remember having to type the whole thing because I forgot to save it on my flash also for plan I remember doing it very quickly. I had enjoyed working on the investigation becuase I had a lot to talk. Although I had it done, I just wish that I had done it more carefully. For Criteria D create I had pushed back the dates that I was supposed to work on the fence. I was supposed to start on the 15th but ended up starting on the 16th. If only I had used my time wisely I could have done a better job. The equipments I used were simple and easy to get. All I needed were clay, toothpicks and tape. Although the tape didn’t do much it was still helpful. The techniques I used were holding 4 toothpicks at a time and placing in on the clay. It made the whole process quicker but it made the line not straight.
The changes in my plan were that I didn’t use glue and bond, also that I started 1 day later than I was supposed to.
The resources I needed were easy to get. They were easy to purchase but not easy to make. Once I had bought the clay I had to smudge it and keep touching it until it got soft and warm. It was hard dealing with hard, cold clay. It didn’t go the way I wanted it to. Overall the project was easier than I had expected also it was fun.
