Y6 Create a WW2 era box

Jan 022023
 
  1. 5 minutes of touch typing
  2. This term’s project big picture
  3. Learning journey
    • Look at boxes
    • Nets
    • Researching box styles
    • creating nets
    • Decorating in 40’s style
    • cutting, scoring and gluing box

1 Look at boxes

  • What makes it interesting?
  • Why is it that shape?
  • How many sides? What shapes?
  • Does it have a lid?
  • How does it open?

2 Explore nets

  • Goto Polypad (one of the Mathigon tools)
  • Drag out some 3d solids and unfold them to see their nets. This only shows one net – there are different nets for the same 3d shapes.
  • Create your own nets by dragging out 2d shapes then selecting and folding to make 3d shapes.
  • Do a Google image search for “3d shapes nets”. Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page.

3 Research WW2 boxes

  • Search for example of boxes from WW2 times
  • Copy and paste useful examples to a j2e5 page

4 Creating nets

  • Decide on a box shape
  • in j2e5, create the net with gluing tabs
  • if in doubt, include a tab – you can always cut it off if you don’t need it
  • Make sure shapes are exactly sized and positioned – very small mistakes will mean your net doesn’t fold up.
  • include your name on the page

5 Create box design – draw shapes, write and style text

  1. Look at your research into 19040s boxes
  2. Write the text for the box
    • company, product name, slogan, information….
    • make it realistic (but you may need to make it up)
  3. Choose fonts and colours
  4. Draw graphics
    • background, stripes, shapes, logo
    • You are designing it, so no Google images

Sucess criteria

  • Name on sheet
  • Save as “P2P…..box” or “S2P….box” or “W2P….box” (Pine/Spruce/Willow to print)
  • Get rid of any spare pages – it should be just one page
  • Accurate box net
  • Gluing tabs
  • Product name and company on most sides
  • Adveritsing slogan
  • Information
  • Logo or simple shapes/colours
  • Fonts and colours chosen carefully
  • Net filled in a colour (unless it is white) – not whole page coloured

Africa book covers

  1. Go to “my files”, “shared files”, your class folder
  2. Look at the different book covers
  3. Move the cover you are doing on to the first page.
  4. Use the tools in j2e to copy one of them as accurately as possible.

Decomposition

We will start with the cover background colour and build it up in layers.  Break the problem down – decomposition

1 Cover shape, blocks and colour

  • Trace the shape of the whole book cover with the rectangle tool
  • Do the same for the red bar at the bottom
  • Select each shape and change the colour by using “fill”

2 Text

  • Type the different bits of text
  • Choose the best font
  • Resize and position them exactly on the book cover

3 Shapes

  • Use the “spiky” shape tool or other shape tools to trace around the any other shapes.
  • Change the fill and outline colour

4 Images

  • Search for images using several key words – search what you see
  • Use this website to take the background away in you need to
  • OR
  • Search for the picture and drag onto j2e
  • Go to JIT5 paint
  • Start a new painting with the checkerboard background
  • Put the picture on the page
  • Fill any white backgound with “invisible paint”
  • Save image as gif (top right of image)

6 Improve the text

Finished?

  1. Start another contrasting book cover.  What different skills do you need?
  2. Recreate 3 contrasting book covers
  3. Choose one book cover – create the back cover and spine in the same style, matching colours, fonts etc
  4. Create your own book cover on Africa or an aspect of Africa.
