G10 2nd Semester Tech Class #9

As I promised you last class, I am including some pictures of Mexico City!

   

Today your Design stage is due following the G10 Due Dates planned. Please work on this assignment during class today and submit it by the end of the day today (11.59pm).  Remember to download a copy of your Shared doc before you submit your assignment. 

I you don't remember how to do that, you can watch a step by step video tutorial in my YouTube Channel!

You can review the guidelines for this stage on last class' blog entry.

Don't forget to make your journal entry of the day. Based on today's progress, I would suggest including the sketches of your designs as visual evidence!
