Flip Book Table #1

      Animation is a very important point for it is mainly used in this flip book. I gave myself a 4 because I am going to add interesting images, but I don't want to over exaggerate. By doing this it will avoid the distraction of the 6th graders not paying attention. This will also benefit me because I will grab their attention and they will want to listen. In the end I gave myself a 4 on this because you can never finish putting interests in pictures, but that will cause distractions on them.

      I gave myself a 5 on simplicity because it is easy to use and quite simple. This is nice because I won't have to take a long time to figure out what to do and how to use it. I just have to add images and then just organize it onto the page. That is how simple it is, yet I have to figure what is eye catching to a 6th grader. I will have to ask reference on a random 6th grader and ask what would they like to see on a flip book that will interest them. So I decided to rate myself a 5 for how easy it is to use.

      This will be entertaining for I will try to avoid boring wording and get to the point. I will have them responding to the questions I ask them so I can assure they are on track with the teaching. I will do short sentences and simple so they can get the main idea and see how the Design Cycle works. I will also add imagery so for the visual learners it will be no problem understanding it. I will try not to put too much to the flip book because then they get off track asking about the images instead of the Design Cycle. I gave myself a 3 on this because it will be sort of challenging entertaining them while giving them a lecture.

      I rated myself a 5 on Knowledge because I believe this will be an easy way for them to understand the concept. They will be writing down the summary of each page as I tell them and in the end I will ask each individually what part of the Design Cycle means what. I believe they will understand this because I am going to repeatedly tell them what it means so it can stay in their minds. Overall, this stage I believe will be one of the ones I will master and I hope I will.

      The total of all the points is 17 which is not a bad number on the scale. I will try to improve this number as I keep moving on to different stages of the Design Cycle. I might add modifications or eliminate some information depending on if it is vital to my project or just plain unnecessary. Sot he project will be educational, but also entertaining to wear off the boredom
