Evaluate

Next is the Evaluate
EVALUATE (Criterion E) Maximum 6

1.Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

2.Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.

3.To get a 6 the student: evaluates the success of the product/solution considering the results of testing, and the views of the user. The student evaluates their own performance at some stages of the design cycle and considers improvements. The student considers the impact of the product/solution on life, society and/or the environment.

Let's talk about what this means, then we'll get started!

1. Print the questionnaire (that you created in the Investigate) and show your business card to 5 people and ask them to answer your questionnaire.

2. Write a paragraph to "analyze" the feedback. In other words write about the scores that you received and say how your business card could be improved based on this feedback. (Use phrases like: Based on my feedback I can conclude . . .)

3. Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle: Investigate, Design, Plan, Create, Evaluate (yes, evaluate the Evaluate . . .) AND suggest ways that you can improve your performance. (You need 5 paragraphs here). Be Specific.  If you set specific goals, they will be measurable. You will easily be able to determine if you have met the goal.

4. Write a final paragraph saying if you accomplished your goal and what impact it will have. (In other words, look at the unit question - were you successful? Explain. Relate back to the Area of Interaction.) Remember this is the final paragraph of your research project. It should finalize the project.

Any questions, please raise your hand and I will be happy to help you.

Year 9, now it's time to CREATE (Criterion D).

Use your chosen design and plan to create a business card of appropriate quality using the resources available.

 1. Open a Document and title it "Process Journal". You are to document the steps that you take to create your business card.  In diary style include the date and the period and say what you did in class that day.  Include print screens.

When you have finished creating your business cards

2. Write a paragraph reflecting on the process of creating your business card and stating any modifications you made to your original design. (Was your design detailed enough? Did you make any modifications? Why?)

If you didn't make any modifications, please write the following: I did not make any modifications.

It should take you 1 period to create your business card.

Year 9, it's time to make a PLAN.

1. Open a Word document
2. Type your name at the top left,
3. Space down, type:  PLAN (all caps, centre justify),
4. Space down, type: Resources

Let's brainstorm the resources each of you will need to create your business card.

5. Type the list of resources that we have created,
6. Space down and type: Plan,

Open the programme that you will use to create your business card

 8. Begin to create a list of the steps you will need to take to create your business card and the amount of time you think it will take (1 min is the minimum)

      Start like this:
       1. Open Publisher, 1 min
       2.

Continue on until you have included everything necessary to complete your business card.

Remember: You can use the phrase See Design when appropriate.

9. Add up the minutes.

10. Include a timeline. Figure out how many lessons it will take to create your business card. Your business card is due March 14. How many lessons will you need to create your business card.  Organize your tasks and say which lesson you will complete each task. (For example: March 8, Steps 1-4).

11. Then write a paragraph saying why you think your plan will work.  Remember that you have lots of experience with business cards. You have done a tutorial, made a practice business card and you had the programme you are going to use  open when you were creating the plan for your business card. You can build a persuasive paragraph using this information.
