      I can research Weathers Vane design ideas.

      I can sketch my designs for the base of my weather vane.

      I can write my design brief and specs of the weather vane project.

      Activities:

      1. Sketch an orthographic and 3d isometric sketch for your weather vane project base. Use a sectional cut to explain your methods of joining. Use isometric ellipses to show your unique design for the stand. Please label all of the components, dowels, screws, wood type we will be using.

      2. Research different weather vane ideas using secondary research using youtube, google images and primary research of exploring different student exemplars.
