Prompt

For this activity, you will reflect on the work you have done so far. The goal of mid-review is to receive feedback on the ideas and prototypes you've developed so far. At this stage of the design process, it is preferable to have a couple of ideas you're exploring. By presenting and receiving feedback, you'll be able to consider a singular direction for moving forward.  

Instructions

For the Mid-Review Presentation, you will share your project ideas and the low-fidelity (quick) prototypes you have made. 

You can present informally (i.e., by standing at the front of the class and holding your presentations) at this time or use slides featuring photographs of your quick prototypes. 

Part 1 - Prepare

With your team, write a 1-2 sentence description of each of the ideas you are considering for your final project. It's ok to have a few distinct ideas at this time. 

Organize your thoughts and put together a plan for how you'll present your current work to the class. 

Consider what kinds of feedback would be most helpful to you for choosing a path forward. At the end of your presentation, you can ask for the feedback that would be most helpful to you. 

Part 2 - Present

In 4 minutes or less, present your prototypes (and sketches) and describe your concept for each. Be as detailed as possible so your peers understand what you are trying to do! 

At the conclusion of your presentation, ask for feedback that would help you move your project forward. 

Part 3 - Receive Feedback

After you've presented, you will receive feedback from your peers and teacher for approximately 2-3 minutes. They will provide feedback on the project concept (idea) as well as the physical design aspects. Note: Feedback guidance is found in the Resource tab above.

One of your team members will be assigned to write down the feedback you receive. You will review the feedback afterward, and it will help you choose your final project direction. 

Feedback tip: When receiving project feedback, it's helpful to listen more than speak. For example, if someone providing feedback misunderstands part of your project idea, rather than correct them, listen to their feedback and think to yourself, "How could I improve the way in which I explain my project idea next time to reduce confusion."

Deliverable

In the Responses tab above, create a post containing 3 bullet points with feedback provided by your peers and teacher.
