Many students are late to there classes because there isn't any clocks in the halls or they just don't realize how much time they are spending at their locker. Having a timer can let students know how much time is left until their next class.

• Make a list of all the things you like about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
• Make a list of all the things you dislike about your current locker. Ask several friends for their opinions.
• Think about your locker not just as a metal box, but as another type of container. What other types of containers do you use each day to store stuff? (Examples: containers for food, clothing, household items)
• Many animals, insects, and plants use containers to store things (Example: bees use honeycombs). Check out some of the images in the Inspiration Gallery for other ideas of strorage units.
• Keep in mind that your newly-designed locker will be one of many along the hallway. How will these individual units all fit together? How will several students use their lockers at the same time without bumping into each other?

This is a good idea. Having a clock to pace your time can prevent arriving to class too late. Digital timers can be manufactured small enough to fit inside a small locker. The only question that arises is where will the timer be located?
