investigation reflection

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 design                                                                                          


I should be given a 3 because i'm working hard to prepare this slideshow and slideshare. 
It is challenging to prepare the slideshow and slideshare these past 2 weeks. 
and i'm also doing my best to make it clear enough for the 6th graders so they 
can understand the design cycle ,and to make sure they don't have any problems 
on the design cycle.

Type a complete paragraph explaining your rating.

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.  what i'm going to make for this project is a slideshare/powerpoint,im going to make it for the 6th graders so they can understand the design cycle.

11. What are the requirements for this assignment?  My assignment must be clear for the 6th graders to understand and must be 2 minutes.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?  The limitations of this project is the time because 2 minutes because 2 minutes isn't enough time to present the design cycle.

13. How will you "test" your project?  I will test my project by giving out test and making sure the 6th graders understand it.             

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

•   Simple for a 6th grader to understand

•   Teach a 6th grader the Design Cycle

•   6th graders will be able to identify the steps of the Design Cycle

•   Will be a minimum of 2 minutes long

•   Not that distracting from the point

•   Possible to transfer onto a pen drive

Test

I will give them a test to make sure they understand the design cycle ,and for them to make sure they know it when ever they have a project on it.

MEASURMENTS	SCORE (1-10)
Simplicity	9
Music	9
Characteristics	10
Total	28

        


SLIDESHOW:

    The score i give myself for simplicity is a 9 because i'm comparing a powerpoint with a slideshare and it is easier to get into a power point and its kind of gonna be easier to be on slideshare because its going to be in the internet. And on powerpoint you just need to click one button on the computer which is 'next' or 'enter'.

  The score i'm giving myself on music is a 10 ,because in the internet you can get music that goes with the power point and slideshare. Also people will get intertain with the music that goes with the slideshare and powerpoint.

  On effects i'm going to give myself a 10 ,because if i look on the powerpoint and slideshare i'm going to make it creative. Also you can put pictures to go with the topic or to go with the things you are going to be writing. Even it'll go with it and it'll be better with it instead of leaving the blank spots blank and just have words with it. And i can put examples for the theme and that'll make the 6th graders understand the theme of what i'm working on. Also in the powerpoint you search up the pictures in clip art but they don't have many pictures, But in slideshare i can download pictures on the internet and post copy and paste them.

MEASURMENTS	SCORE 1-10
SIMPLICITY	7
MUSIC	4
CHARACTERISTICS	10
TOTAL	21

SLIDESHOW:

  The score i chose for simplicity i give myself an 7 because its easier to use and you can put pictures, music and more to the slideshow..its much easier to use ,but it may be difficult as well. Also i understand how you use it. The project has to be 2mins long so i have enough time to present it.

  The score i chose for music is an 4 because it might be difficult to put in the music on the slideshow. I also gave myself a 4 because the music will go with the slideshow and the people will get intertian with the music. but the music will go with the slideshow.

The score i chose for characteristics is a 10 . the reason i chose to give myself a 10 because its easier to put pictures. i can put special effects on the slide show to make it better than just having the music and making it all plain. so thats why i gave myself an 10 for characteristics.

DAY 2-INVESTIGATION REFLECTION

Today, I researched how to do a slide show i found the information that might help me for this assignment. this website may help me by comparing a slide show on one website to another. i chose slide boom and slide now i need to see what are the difference. now i need to design a story board on my assignment. i hope this slide show will help the 6th graders about the design cycle.
