Journal 2: Two-Week Schedule

Overall Two-Week Goal: In the first two weeks of the WISE project I want to have a mentor and get started on talking to people in the school that might have access to the blueprints of the school.

Specific Plan:
Tuesday, Feb. 25: Get released from WISE class and talk to my potential mentors. I will first go to Mr. Cowell and talk to him about my project and see if he would be interested in being my mentor.
Wednesday, Feb. 26: If my mentor is not selected I will seek another person.
Thursday, Feb. 27: By this point I will have a mentor and I will not start to talk to people around the school to get access to the blueprints. I will talk to Mr. Cowell (Or whoever my mentor is) and see if they know of anyone.
Friday, Feb. 28: If the information I need is not given to me, I will go to the main office and see if anyone in there knows who I can talk to. Hopefully by this time I will at least know who I need to see and I can plan on talking to them next week.
Monday, March 3: Over the weekend I will have started the computer model. I will have made a new project, and saved it in several places. Today I will go talk to the person who has access to the school files and hopefully receive a copy of them or have someone email me computer files.
Tuesday, March 4: Hopefully with the blueprints accessible, I will be able to start my project! I will be able to get the topography started.
Wednesday, March 5: I will get the topography done by the end of the day
Thursday, March 6: By this point, I will have a computer file with the land around the school properly modeled. At this point I can start to model the buildings.
Friday, March 7: I will have very rough outlines of the buildings complete.

Person I will talk to:
Mr. Cowell
Two other resources:
IHS for blueprints
SketchUp tutorial videos on topography
