I know it's hard to remember, but since the pandemic has pushed us into block scheduling, our semesters look a little different. Our quarters are semesters and that's what is happening this week. If you have any questions about how this all works, you can definitely send me an email message. Regardless, we are going to have our semester exam today. I am going to ask you to complete a reflection and upload that into Teams. There is an assignment called SMM 1 Exam. That's where you will upload your response to these questions. You can type them or upload a picture of handwritten responses. The choice is yours. You will have all period to complete the reflection. If you finish early, you can finish up any remaining projects you have to complete. Reflection In one paragraph, reflect on the one project this semester that you thought was the most challenging.

Oak tag, cardboard, and card stock is all appropriate. The only adhesive I would like you to use is white glue.  Having Kit #2 would be very helpful. Make sure you turn in your permission slip before you go to pick it up. Where to get materials? I think the best material for this project is old cereal boxes. They are made of tag board (oak tag is another name) and thicker than card stock, but thinner than cardboard. It's a great material. Remember, that glue will stick to the brown side better than the glossy printed side. When you are done, you can paint the whol...

In out exploration of model making we are looking for ways to improve our cutting skills. These resources will help us. Go ahead and watch the video and post the most important piece of information that you learned from the video.
