Evaluation

I  ended  up  doing  at  slide  show,  About the MYP  Design Cycle.
for investigate, i give myself a 6/6 because it was really easy and i did not have any problems 
with it. In this stage you had to investigate / or find out any information about your project/design cycle.  
 in plan i give myself a 4/6 because i had more problems with it and i think i did not really understand this stage. 
My  assignment was to teach at least three Sixth graders about the MYP Design  Cycle.
the next stage was Plan. i rate this stage a 5/6. because in this stage you had to design a product/ and solution.
 i had around seven slides in my slide show. I think my project was very simple.
 i just did a slide for every step in the MYP Design Cycle .

INVESTIGATION REFLECTION: 60% OF YOUR GRADE

These last two weeks you have worked on your investigation process. Reflect and rate yourself using the rubric PLUS copy your response to QUIA.. Post with the subject INVESTIGATION REFLECTION. When you are finished continue with your 3 brainstorming designs.

These last two weeks we have been working on the investigation process. Honestly there  would  be times  that i would stay behind or i wouldn't know what to do. But eventually i would ask for help and catch up. Working on the  investigation process was not too hard. i understood what to do and i have started on some of my slides. i think i would be able to finish in a couple of days . i would honestly  rate myself a 7/10 because i wasn't always doing what i was suppose to but i catched up anyways i put forth my best effort .    



 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 am going to make a simple slide show . Based on the Design Cycle . i am going to make it because i need to explain  what  the  Design  Cycle  is  . I am  making  this slide show  for  the  sixth  graders.  


Formulate a Design Specification
11. What are the requirements for this assignment? 

The Requirements are to explain the Design Cycle to sixth graders. 
  • Survey
  • sixth graders

Investigation comparison

   280 SLIDES 
measurements  1-10


simplicity         9


characters        6


color               8


total               23

The process of explaining / teaching the Design cycle to a sixth grader. i chose the the software / program 280  slides   instead of slider. i gave 280 slides a 9 for simplicity because it was super simple.
 i could  fully understand it  . i rated character six out of ten .  i rated color a 8 out of ten it had so many color and pattern options  and animations.  in total it was a 23 for simplicity,  character, & color .

reflection

i think that  280 slides is much better than slider , because
 it is much more specific and detailed . it has more options and
tools that are available to me . i think it is much more simpler and has more animations . slider was much more difficult than 280 slides . so i decided on 280 slides rather than slider

measurements with 280 slides.

measurements   score 1-10

simplicity          8

characters         3

colors               8

Total                19

I  gave  280 slides a 8 one simplicity because it is very simple , convenient and easy to understand and use .
i had  no   problem  or  any  difficulties  making  slides.  it  provides  new blank  slides for you to use  . it has alot of  other  tools  to  add  fonts  pictures  or  animations.

I gave character a 3 out of ten because  the software didn't really let you make or animate your own character. i doesn't even let you make your own  character .
