Landmark Project — One Notion Entry
Important
Create one Notion entry for the Landmark Project. Keep editing that same entry during all three classes. Do not create a separate entry each day.
Divide your entry into the three parts below. Complete each part before leaving that day’s class.
Project requirements
Your completed entry must show that:
- you chose a real landmark, building, monument, or locally significant structure and confirmed it with your teacher;
- you identified its correct name, location, purpose, or significance;
- you collected at least three useful reference views and recorded their sources;
- you identified the three defining features that make it recognizable;
- you planned its shapes, dimensions, scale, proportions, simplifications, and printability;
- you built an original Tinkercad model rather than downloading or copying one;
- you recorded peer feedback and your response on each of the three project days;
- your entry includes planning, progress evidence, before-and-after evidence, a final fly-through, and the submitted model file.
Part 1 — Mod 1 Day 7: Plan and Begin
📝 1. Written Recap (Required)
What did you accomplish today?
Include:
- the landmark you selected and why;
- what planning and research you completed;
- what you built in Tinkercad;
- important decisions about scale, proportion, shapes, or simplification;
- tools or techniques you used;
- problems you encountered and how you responded;
- what you plan to work on next.
📌 Be specific. Someone reading this should be able to understand what you actually did during class and how your work progressed.
💭 2. Reflection (Required)
Which three features make your landmark recognizable, and how will you simplify it without losing its identity?
Your response should explain your thinking, decision-making, learning, or process, not simply repeat what you did.
📌 Use specific examples from your landmark and planning.
Curriculum focus: A1.4, A1.5, A1.7, A2.1, and A2.7 — communicate a plan, establish criteria, research sources, manage the project, and measure accurately.
📁 3. Files / Evidence (Required)
Upload or link:
- the landmark’s name, location, and purpose or significance;
- at least three reference views with their sources;
- your three defining features;
- front, side, and top sketches;
- labelled dimensions in millimetres;
- the basic solids and holes you plan to use;
- one detail you will preserve, one repeated feature you will simplify, and one feature you may exaggerate for recognition or printability;
- identified overhangs, thin areas, fragile details, or other printability risks;
- an initial Tinkercad screenshot showing the footprint or large forms;
- an STL backup of your current model.
📌 Your evidence should clearly show the work described in your recap.
Evidence:
❓ 4. Questions / Problems
Do you have any questions for Mr. Jones, or is there anything currently preventing you from moving forward?
This could include a reference you cannot find, a measurement you cannot interpret, a shape you do not know how to create, or approval you need before continuing.
If you do not have a question, write “No questions.” or leave this section blank.
🤝 5. Feedback (Required Today)
Ask a peer to review your landmark choice, three defining features, planned scale, simplifications, or first modelled forms. They must identify one strength, one concern, and one useful next step.
Who gave you feedback?
What strength, concern, and next step did they identify?
Will you accept, adapt, or reject the suggestion? What will you do, and why?
⚠️ Daily Reminder
Your Notion entry is evidence of your process, progress, and learning. Complete Part 1 before the end of class, then return to this same entry next class.
Part 2 — Mod 1 Day 8: Develop and Refine
📝 1. Written Recap (Required)
What did you accomplish today?
Include:
- which defining features you developed;
- how you compared the model with reference images or measurements;
- tools, shapes, holes, alignment, duplication, grouping, or measurement techniques you used;
- important changes to scale, proportion, simplification, or printability;
- a problem you encountered and how you responded;
- what you plan to finish next class.
📌 Be specific. Someone reading this should be able to understand how your model changed during class and why.
💭 2. Reflection (Required)
Which peer suggestion did you use—or decide not to use—and what evidence supported your decision?
Your response should explain your thinking and decision-making, not simply state whether you agreed.
📌 Refer to your criteria, references, measurements, printability, or intended result as evidence.
Curriculum focus: A3.3, A3.4, and A3.5 — analyze performance, refine the model using evidence, and communicate the decision.
📁 3. Files / Evidence (Required)
Upload or link:
- a progress screenshot from the start of class;
- a screenshot showing the defining architectural features you added;
- measurements or comparisons with your references;
- the exact peer feedback: one strength, one risk, and one recommended next step;
- your response: accept, adapt, or reject with evidence;
- a before-and-after pair showing one evidence-based revision;
- an updated STL backup.
📌 Your evidence should clearly show the work described in your recap.
Evidence:
❓ 4. Questions / Problems
Do you have any questions for Mr. Jones, or is there anything currently preventing you from moving forward?
This could include a modelling technique, measurement, fragile feature, overhang, connection, missing reference, or feedback you need.
If you do not have a question, write “No questions.” or leave this section blank.
🤝 5. Feedback (Required Today)
Who gave you feedback?
What strength, risk, and next step did they identify?
Will you accept, adapt, or reject the suggestion? What will you do, and why?
⚠️ Daily Reminder
Your entry should make the change in your thinking and design visible. Complete Part 2 before the end of class, then return to this same entry for the final class.
Part 3 — Mod 1 Day 9: Finish and Submit
📝 1. Written Recap (Required)
What did you accomplish today?
Include:
- the final features or corrections you completed;
- how you checked recognizability, scale, proportion, orientation, overhangs, thickness, and connections;
- important final decisions or compromises;
- tools, software, or techniques you used;
- problems you encountered and how you responded;
- whether the model is complete and what you would improve with more time.
📌 Be specific. Someone reading this should be able to understand how you brought the project to completion.
💭 2. Reflection (Required)
How do scale, proportion, and your three defining features make the final landmark recognizable? Which feedback influenced the final design, and what would you change in another iteration?
Your response should explain your thinking, decision-making, learning, and process, not simply describe the finished object.
📌 Use specific evidence from the model, references, feedback, and revisions.
Curriculum focus: A2.5, A2.6, A3.3, A3.4, A3.5, and B3.4 — follow production documents, document development, analyze and refine the result, communicate learning, and identify strengths and growth.
📁 3. Files / Evidence (Required)
Upload or link:
- final screenshots showing the top, front, side, and underside;
- a final fly-through video;
- a final screenshot beside an important reference view;
- the final STL file, or an approved OBJ package for a colour-specific project;
- the completed project requirement checklist;
- your Mod 1 self-assessment;
- confirmation of the optional 3D Print Request, if you submitted one.
📌 Your evidence should clearly show the work described in your recap and demonstrate that the model is ready for evaluation.
Evidence:
❓ 4. Questions / Problems
Do you have any questions for Mr. Jones, or is there anything preventing you from submitting a complete project?
This could include a missing file, export problem, fly-through issue, printability concern, or submission question.
If you do not have a question, write “No questions.” or leave this section blank.
🤝 5. Feedback (Required Today)
Ask a peer to complete one final review of recognizability and printability. They must identify one strength, one remaining risk, and one final improvement or future iteration.
Who gave you final feedback?
What strength, remaining risk, and final improvement or future iteration did they identify?
What did you change after the review, or what would you change in another iteration? Why?
⚠️ Final Reminder
The finished model alone does not show how you developed the idea, made decisions, learned skills, solved problems, and responded to feedback. Make sure all three parts of this single Notion entry make that process visible before you submit.
