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 flipbook with a lot of creative pictures showing the 6th graders how you can use the design cycle and how the design cycle can help you. I am going to make a flipbook because I saw some examples of the flipbook and I though it was a pretty creative and original thing to do. I am making this for the 6th graders showing them the design cycle.

Formulate a Design Specification

11. What are the requirements for this assignment? My requirements for this project are to have 10's in every one of my tables. My two tables are for Creativity, Understanding, Theme and Neatness. This table is the table for book option 2, this are the requirements for my option. My second option is a flipbook the requirements for that option are to have 10's in everything. In Neatness, Understanding, Creativity, and Presentation.

12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment? My limitations for this project are to do this best of my abliltiys. The limitations for this project are how the flipbook and the book. The flipbook will have picture and be creative because I'm the one who drew the pictures and everything. The book will also be very creative because it's having like it's own style and it will orginal. 

13. How will you "test" your project? I will test my project by asking different sixth graders, what there best way of learning is. I will ask them their option on which project I should do. And I will ask them if them would learn the design cycle better from a book or a flipbook. 

BOOK.

I put 10's on all the them because I want everything to be prefect and I want to get a 100. Creativity in this project will be very good. This book project will be very creative, and pretty. When you do creativity you need imagination, to be able to do the project and learn and make up original. Creativity is having your original ideas that makes your project creative. My project will be very creative and nice, the thing that will make it creative and original is the ideas in pictures in the picture book.


My second option was to do a book. My book my have a lot of understanding of the project. In my project you will be able to understand it, and know that i knew how to do the project. Understanding the project is very important so you can know how to do the project. Understanding I gave myself a 10 because I know i can do the work for a 10, and to get a 10. 

FLIPBOOK.

I put a 10 on all of them because I know I can accomplish this & get a 100.

DAY 2 REFLECTION.

I think 6th graders will be able to learn the design cycle if I make a very creative, and interesting flipbook for them about the Design Cycle. The the flipbook project you make a creative style or drawing on every page. And then when you flip all the pages together it becomes an animated flipbook. For 6th graders it will be very easy for them to understand how the Design Cycle works & what the different parts of the Design Cycle mean. They wouldn't wanna be reading a lame boring book with no pictures, so why don't just make them a flipbook with nothing but pictures. In the flipbook project it will be alot of pictures about the boy that gets caught up in this huge problem, and he has to use the Design Cycle to help him get out of the problem and be able to solve it. It will show all the different steps he uses to solve the problem & explains how he uses the problem. In this Design Cycle I will explain all the steps such as Investigate, Create, Design, and Evaulate. In the Investigate part of the project the boy will show how he plans the steps & tries to investigate it. Next in the Create he willl be creating the project and showing the plans he has, the final plans will be to create the project.Creating the flipbook project
