FLIPBOOK INVESTIGATION

  Category    1-10
  Simplicity     7
  Theme          5
  Character      9
  Total            21

    Flipbook I give a 8 because it wouldn't have more work to do. The simplicity I give a 7 because I could  work by hand. Theme I give a 5 because I don't know how its going to be based on. Character I give a 9 because that way I could draw anything I want.
    I gave Flipbook an 8 because the character and simplicity would be easier. Simplicity is a 7 because my work wouldn't be that difficult. I gave theme a 5 because I don't really know how to think of one in flipbook. Character I gave a 9 for one easy thing I,m able to draw almost anything like stick figures for example.
    I think flipbook would be easier than comicmaster because it could be hand drawn. Also It wouldn't take as long, I could finish each page thing quickly. I figure I could even enjoy some it because its fun. That would seem to be good than having stress in my head, with fun and easy work is a good thing in flipbook.

COMICMASTER INVESTIGATION

COMICMASTER
Simplicity- 7
Theme-      9
Characters-4
TOTAL     20

 For Comic Master I gave a 5 because with the choices on how I choose it to be. For the simplicity I give a 7 because it wouldn't be that hard but there would be some complications. The Theme, I chose 9 because I could decide on it quickly but with some time. For character choice I chose a 4 because based on characters on how I choose them to be, plus how many there would be so its a little more difficulty.
    I gave the Comic Master a 5 because its in between of hard and easy. The simplicity is a 7 because most of it would be simple. For theme I gave a 9 because I could make up my mind fast on how it will be.  Character I gave a 4 because it would take time on how I choose it to be.
    For Comic Master Character I gave a 4 because for of couple of reasons. One of them is that how I will use them in it. Another is how I will use them to describe the design cycle. Also is how many there should be. So I think based on my decisions it would be easier for 6th graders to understand.

Investigate

Today, I researched slideshow, video, article game, music video, song, comic strip, flipbook. I found on WEBSITES: These are the websites I found the information. Right now, I have chosen, or I still have not decided which tool I WILL USE to teach the design cycle to a 6th grader. Now I need to design a story board of how I will teach the design cycle.

Design Brief

Area of Interaction: Community and Service , Approaches to Learning & Human Ingenuity

Significant Concept: Design Cycle can be used to solve problems

Unit Question: How can my learning help my community? How do I make Sound Choices?

INVESTIGATE: (Write in complete sentences) Identify the Problem

1. What is the problem you need to solve? Explain to a 6^th grader what the design cycle is all about by creating a presentation. (3d, PPT, movie, game, Poster)
