Design Brief

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it. for my project i am going to make a comic master that describes the design cycle in a easy way. I am going to make so the 6th graders can understand it what the design cycle is about without getting confused.

Formulate a Design Specification

11. What are the requirements for this assignment?My assignment must be clear and simple to understand and under 2 minutes.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment? The limitations for this project is the time because we just have 2 minutes and is not enough time to present a project.

13. How will you "test" your project? i will test my project by giving the 6th graders a test to see if they really understand it.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

• Simple for a 6th grader to understand
• Teach a 6th grader what the Design Cycle is
• 6th graders will be able to identify steps of Design Cycle
• Will be less than 2 minutes long
• Made by Comic Master program online
• Possible to save and copy
• Must be able to be created in given time
• Can not be too difficult to break

Test

I will give the 6th graders some questions to see if they understand about the design cycle. And then i would analyze my project by the students questions. I would put more stuff if they didn't understand it, but if they are able to know what it is i will be happy.

Desgin Cycle questions

Design Brief

10. Write a short statement of what you are going to make, why you are going to make it, and for whom you are making it. I'm going to make a comic book because I think 6th graders like pictures and fun things. And I'm doing it for the 6th graders. 

Formulate a Design Specification

11. What are the requirements for this assignment? The requirements of this assignments is to create a product that could be used to teach the 6th graders what the Design Cycle is

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?

I think the limitations for this project is the time and the date due.

13. How will you "test" your project?

I will test my project by presented it to sixth graders and discussing what they learned with it and what could've made my project better.

REFLECT ON YOUR LEARNING

PLAN:

14. THREE Brainstorm ideas. Use can use the chart below or type to your blog your brainstorming ideas. .

IB Brainstorming Chart .pdf found in schoology under “materials”& then files

15. What idea did you choose to demonstrate the design cycle and why did you choose it? 

 My idea I chose to present it to the 6th graders is the comic master because i will do it with my own ideas and also i will do it with a lot of pictures.

16. Does your idea meet all of the requirements? I think so.

17. Use the story board paper below to plan your presentation.  Include how many levels you will have, what will be on each level, how will you include teaching skills to young students, and what will your questions be about.

18. Explain how you will use your time to get your project finished in : I will use my time and don't get distracted by anything so that why i can do a better work.

REFLECT on your learning

COMICMASTER

I give a 5 for characters, because character is who is the main character in the story like the movies. Another reason why I choose character is that i would put a lot of pictures and that way students can understand it better. Which is why I scored it a 5. 

Music: I give a 5 for music, because the music is one way to be more creative, also it makes you feel better when you are presenting, and I can get the 6th graders attention with music.

Font: I rated font with a score of 3, my reason for rating this is a 3 because I find it very easy to write on the computer. In addition to that, the font looks nice. The good part of the font is that it had different types of sizes and different kinds of letters. The text can also be very easy to read, yet it can be very complex depending on how the person can understand the cartoons. The text also has a diverse variety of colors you can use on the text. 

Simplicity: I rated simplicity with a score of 3 because I find it easy to do this but at the same time i think is difficult so that is why i rated this with a 3.

Flip Book

 My approach on this project will either make or break my success. I have decided that considering two completely different approaches will help me get a better understanding of what can work. Wether the kids are able to ineract with the product is very important to me. I choose this program because i think the 6th grader will understand it better because it will have a lot of pictures. This is my rating for flip book. I rated four categories of the flip book. I rated font with a score of 5, my reason for rating this is a 5 because I find it very easy to write on the computer. In addition to that, the font looks nice. The good part of the font is that it had different types of sizes and different kinds of letters. The flip book allows you to write anywhere on the page. The text can also be very easy to read, yet it can be very complex depending on how the person can draw or write with the mouse. Also, the text has a diverse variety of colors you can use in text. I rated font a 5 because it is very easy and simple to do it. For simplicity I decided to rate a 3, reason being is because in my opinion it's pretty easy to understand for a 6th grader. The layout it has is as simple as it gets, the font is simple to, no fancy or crazy drawings. also the wording is not a high level wording it's just normal wording. For the music i rated a 2, reason for that is because i couldn't really find music that went along with my product so i choose the most fitting one, according to the product. For characters i decided to rate a 4, because they are relevant to my product, they are in a friendly mood and have a positive attitude, and adds that extra cool to the product. All products have characters that relate to them and that's what i did as perfect as i could.

Reflection Day 2

I think that the comic book will be much better and easier to catch the students attention because the 6th graders like pictures and it will have  a lot of pictures. The 6th graders like the books with pictures and it will look good for them. Last time i asked my little sister why she read comic books and she told me because its better the books with pictures.

Investigation Comparison

I choose this program because i think is the best way to learn and it will have a lot of pictures and it will be easier to catch the 6th graders attention because of the pictures and the video.

I pick this one because a lot of children likes the pictures and it would be also creative and it will be more easier to catch the students attention.
