EVALUATE ! c:

1. How can my learning serve my community?
2. How can your future projects become better?
3. What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not do and why?
4. How do you feel about your final product? What would you rate yourself on the Rubric scale of 1-6 for each part of the Assessment Criterion?
5. What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan?
Create a paragraph to answer each question.



Your response:
1. By learning how to do this, I can teach others my knowledge and it will be passed on. Then, it helps others when creating anything .

2. My future projects can better because in this one I was always doing things at the last minute & it was REALLY hard for me to catch up with the due dates. Regardless, in the future projects, I will put in more effort and time into it.

3. From this project I figured out that I'm irresponsible, but that either way, i still try my hardest to catch up and DO what is needed to be done. Obviously, i will try not being irresponsible anymore because then ot backfires on me. On the other hand, I'll still keep trying my hardest to make sure i do everything I'm supposed to.

4. I actually think my final project is ok, although it kinnda looks crowded. But, i think it has everything that i was supposed to "teach", so i'm proud of it. The rate i would give it would be a 4.

5. My planning didnt go that well... I ended up doing a prezi video - i didn't even use simlebox - like I had planned.
To top it off, and honestly, I did this in a rush and with lots of stress. So, it seems as if the time planning was worthless, cause i didnt follow that.









EVALUATE:
20. How could you improve your presentation?
i could put examples , to help the learner better understand.
21. Does your presentation meet all of the requirements?
Yes, because i included everything i needed to teach about the design cycle.
22. Share your presentation with at least 2-8th, 3-9th, 4-10th+ friends. What did he/she like about your presentation?
They said that it looked like I actually took my time , and that it looked creative , because i added a lot of stuff which made it look interesting. 
23. Reflect on all the steps of the Design Cycle. What did you do well? What do you need to improve?
I think i did well in my end product and i can say that i'm proud of it . I did the investigation stage well, though i failed in the plan because in my create i didn't follow it nor did i do the design i had chosen before. I did complete the evaluations i was required, so i also did good on that. Like i said, i needed to improve on the plan section part of my project.
24. Were you responsible in using the software, Internet, pictures, and computer?
Yes, on this part i did do good. i used the internet , i added pictures, and a computer.
25. How can my learning help my community?
I think teaching the 6th graders this, is a good thing. Because i highly think they will tell others and it will soon be passed on.
26. What grade do you deserve on this project? (1 - 6)
i deserve a 4, because i didn't follow my plan, but also, that's what is also part of the design cycle - you change things according to which you think is better, and that's all a process.
