Story with vocabulary homework

   Pheobe needed to do a research paper, but had no clue of what the prompt was about. She started to research using her teachers computer, and knew that she needed to have proper ETTIQUITE; she only used sites she knew were safe. She con CONDUCTED herself properly and with COURTESY when a email notice poped up by closing it and not reading it because it was her teachers. She kept getting notices from a TROLL that was ANONYMOUS, but still knew it would be UNETHICAL to write something rude back. Instead she did the ETHICAL thing  and wrote a message back with nice TONE to make sure it was OBVIOUS that she wasnt afended. Pheobe even used the proper EMOTICON, a smile so that it didnt seem rude. Later, her teacher said it was the right and LEGAL thing to do and she didn't get mad at her.

Evaluate- Each Step

Investigation- 

This stage was the easiest for me because it did not require me to do anything specific. Basically it was an outline, so I didn't have to really be certain of what I was doing. however, I did run into some problems like  choosing what I was going to actually investigate or really do my project on. It didn't take long because I had an idea of telling a story, so I investigated various tools that would be able to help me with my goal. 

Plan/Design-

This stage was the opposite of the first stage (Investigation) because it did require me to be specific because this was basically the plan of what I was going to do for the whole finished product. The plan at the time was to complete a storybook to tell a story of how the design was created. I saw this as a challenge because I am not usually comfortable with doing things on the computer. After starting to create this, I realized that it would be too difficult for me and wasn't able to give the image that I was trying to convey. At this time, I decided to create a newspaper to tell the story and actually teach.

Create- 

When I had my plan complete, I began to make the end product. this took a couple of days, and I stressed that I would run out of time. because of this, I was forced to work at a quicker pace than I'm us to. During this time I did not question my plan to do a newspaper, so I in a way began again with the researching to make the finished newspaper.


Evaluate-
The final product was great because it met all requirements. I did feel, however, that it could have looked nicer or been more organized. There were many errors grammatically, so I fear that it will be difficult to understand. For the most part i can help my community through teaching, and also i think it was an innovative idea. 

Evaluation

Questions:
   Through what i've learned from this process, I can take with me throughout many years of school and even afterwords. I have always ben told what the design cycle is, but never knew how it applied to actual life. As of recent, I discovered it can be used for nearly anything and is for the most part, successful. This can help my community because I am now able to easily understand how to solve problems in my commiunity. I will continue to look at new ideas and ways to make projects. However, I will chose my final design quicker and sooner. My fnal product, I feel, is very different and unique. I enjoyed the story line of it because it told a story but also taught the design cycle in an interesting way. Because of this, I would rate myself at least a five.  In regards to my plan, I qould take it more serious because without it, you're basically lost. I would rethink my plan and take more time on it, but overall my final product was executed well and hopefully is efficient.
