Evaluation
For this project we had to answer the unit question and also have a presentation about our assigned invention. I decided to make a poster. To test if my product, my poster and my presentation was good, I asked different people what they thought about my poster, positive and negative things about the poster and also what I could improve next time. I asked five different people, and they all had the same opinion about it. They said that the Barbie logo was nice and well done, but the layout overall could have been better. They said that it answered the unit question very well and also had enough information about the invention too. They said it was good, but the layout could have been better and neater. I actually fully agree with the others about my poster. I think I could have done a better layout and made it neater. The posters content is good and describes the invention and the unit question very well, but the layout and design of the poster does look very messy and it doesn’t really look that attractive. It also could have used a little more color, my poster rather has neutral colors, but Barbie is all about pink and really bright colors. I fully agree with the others about my poster and next time I will try to improve this.
For the investigation did the worksheet and also I made up many different questions and then I did some research to answer my questions. During my research, I learned a lot about Barbie and how inventors come up with their inventions. It took me a while to find information about Barbie that I actually could use. During my researched I thought that it was pretty hard to find web pages that had information about Barbie and not only were selling Barbies. After many hours of research I found all the information I needed for my poster and presentation.
Criterian C is plan. I think I did a good job at the plan. The plan is detailed and followed nearly every step. The plan describes everything very well and it is a very well planned plan :] I do have a few changes.
For criterion D, doing the actual project, I chose to do a poster. I thought a poster will describe and show everything I need. While doing the poster, I had trouble with the layout and how I should write everything. I was scared the poster won’t look nice because of my awful handwriting. To solve this problem I decided to type everything up. For the Barbie logo, I printed to logos out and in the end I traced it onto the poster. I also had trouble finding a Barbie logo that was big enough for my poster, but this was done after a while of research. Finding pictures of Barbie was easy. As soon as I had everything printed, I started putting it together. I noticed that I should have put the logo higher, because it took most of the posters space. This then didn’t look that neat. My poster actually said everything it needed to. It had enough information about Barbie and answered the unit question.
For next time, I could improve on the layout of my poster. With that I mean I should improve the neatness, the whole layout and it should just look nice. The poster was just too messy and didn’t have a very nice look. As one of the people suggested I should do better, was to have brighter colors since it is all about Barbie and Barbie is advertised in bright colors. It was all squished and didn’t have much to show. I think if I added a frame or more pictures it would have looked neater. Next time I will improve on all these things and have a prettier poster. During my presentation I had a lot of pauses, because I didn’t really prepare for it. I thought I knew everything and I didn’t need to prepare. In the end the presentation wasn’t that bad. I think if I had prepared, the presentation would have been way better.
I could also have been better at my research. In my opinion you never research enough. There is still a lot to learn about any subject and researching will never end. I researched and had a lot of information and I stopped researching as soon as I didn’t get anything new. Most articles about Barbie in the end were all the same and didn’t tell me anything new. In the end I had enough information and knowledge about Barbie to do my poster. To know what I’m looking for in the research, I made up 15 questions about Barbie. I wanted them all answered, but in the end there just wasn’t any information to half my questions. I had to narrow it down to only 7 questions. The question and answers tell you a lot about Barbie and give you the main idea.
For the plan, I can’t think of anything to improve. It had all the detail it needed and the only thing is that I didn’t really follow it as well as I could have. I had a few changes here and there. I mean it’s not really hard to write a plan and there isn’t much that can go wrong while making a plan. I have a few things here and there to improve and I hope that in the next project I will do better at everything.
