[|story board-2.pdf] <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">I chose to use powergame because I already know how to use it and it seems so much less complicated.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">With some teacher support,

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- produce a plan that contains a **number** of **detailed, logical** steps that describes the use of resources and time.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">(I am unsure why Sep. 8th has a line through it and I am unable to fix it)

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- evaluate the plan and record changes made to the design. <span style="color: #11bb75; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">All of my dates from sep. 8th on are incorrect because it took me a very long time to complete level 2 and ms bradfield gave us extra time.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">CREATE: <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">With some teacher support, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- **skillfully use** appropriate techniques and equipment. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Okay. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- follow your plan and give reasons for any changes you made. <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">I had to make very many changes to my plan because level 2 took longer than expected and Ms bradfield gave us a lot of extra days, which I am greatful for. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- the result is a project that is of appropriate quality, using all the resources you had available. <span style="color: #e7ac36; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Okay.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">EVALUATE:

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">With some teacher support, <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- evaluate the success of the product based on the design specifications, **results of testing,** and the **feedback from self and others. <span style="color: #e82cd4; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 17px;">I think I did really well on creating my videogame. it is both fun and educational and it is complicated enough that it would hopefully take a 4th grader at least a half hour to complete without it being impossible (like Sherry and Jennifers game!!!) ** <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- provide an evaluation of your performance **at each stage of the design cycle** and suggests improvements. <span style="color: #ff5914; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">I think I did vory well at each stage of the design cycle, but I really wish I had taked more time to investigate Atmosphere and figure out how it worked before I just gave up on it. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">- provide an appropriate evaluation of the **impact** of the project on life, society and/or the environment (unit question) <span style="color: #26df26; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 17px;">**This assiignment can impact our lifes because it teaches us to work through ou rproblems and troubleshoot when neded. It was also some what educational because while I was looking up information to put insiide the videogame, I learned things even I didn't know.**
