Reading Response #4

1. The potential pitfalls in project design, is that you or at times your students will get overwhelmed with all the needs of projects design. Designing your project needs a lot of collaboration from you and your group, as the presentation is the key component to your project. 

2. Good projects feature a lot of components. Good projects are well designed meaning that they have a creative and fluid flow to them for the audience. They also are clean and neat, meaning no scratched out misspellings, or anything of that nature. They also aren't too wordy, meaning that they provide clear concise information to the readers.

3. Project ideas; come from you or your group members. The ideas for projects stem from being given a topic and letting your creativity and imagination provide you with the idea for how you will present the topic to the reader. Some people will stick to generic clean/simple project ideas. While some will choose wild and imaginative ideas for how to present the information.

4. The steps to design a project, starts first the idea. You first need an idea of how you will present the data to the audience. Next you need to design your idea, in that you need to think of how you find a way to implement your idea for the audience. The next step is construction of the project, which is data collection, recording, and putting the project together. The final step is presenting your project, in which you present your project to an audience or peers.

5. These concepts are very important to my project, in that we are currently developing the "how" part of or our project. In that we are working on how we are going to present our idea. We also need to remember to keep our project clear and concise, not making it difficult for the audience to read and understand our projects overall goal.
