Evaluate

Investigate: For the investigation stage, I give my self a 6 because thats when I started off. And it was when the teacher was explaining how to do everything, so I understood it. I found my topic, and I was fuguiring out how I was going to start.
Planning: I give a 4 for the planning, because I dont think I spent enough time on it.
Design: I also give myself  4, because I think the planning, and design are similar.
Create: For the creating stage, I give myself a 5 because at first I was confused on what I was going to do. But then  I started creating a slideshow on photobucket, and I understood how to do it more.
Evaluate:  Overall, For my project i give my self a 5 because it shows images of the design cycle, but its too simple and not really intresting.

Create Reflection

Today I finished creating my product on photobucket. I put pictures that I found that show the design cycle, and i turned them into a slideshow. I need to test my product now and give the 6th grader my survey.

Post for today c:

Right now I am still trying to finish my project. Im using photobucket to represent the design cycle. Im just looking up pictures and using a caption to describe what's happening. Right now I'm thinking I should have used another website/program, because photobucket isn't the best for this. I'm going to continue though, and see how it turns out in the end.


The questions that I'll use to for my servey for the 6th graders will be:
- What do you think the purpose for thedesign cycle is?
- How would you use the design cycle in the real world?
-  How many stages are there in the design cycle?
- After looking at the pictures and reading the captions, do you think you could explain the design cycle to another 6th grader?
- What are other things that i could do to make my project better?

Create

For the planning stage the creator needs to plan out what theyre going to do. They need to plan out what theyre going to create, how much time they need, and how theyre going to create the product. For the design they see what its going to look like. What materials they need to make the product. So the design and plannning stage are very similar. In the picture, the lady has a folder and it looks like she's a fashion designer.

Right now im looking up images for the investigation stage. I'm using photobucket to show the Design Cycle so my project is going to have images. Under the images i will put captions explain the picture. This picture is showing the investigation stage because the person is showing the person looking for a topic; searching for something.
