Criterion B: Developing Ideas
Level 3 My Career Investigations Design Project
Criterion B, Objectives 1 and 2
1. I can develop a design specification, which outlines the success criteria for the design of
a solution based on the data collected.
2. I can present a range of feasible design ideas, which can be interpreted by others.
Evidence of Work - Classwork and Homework
Describe, discuss, and analyze your Criterion B, Objectives 1 and 2 Evidence of
Work. Be very thorough and cite specifics as you answer questions, provide information, and
follow instructions. This objective may be completed individually and/or cooperatively by using
our Think-Pair-Share blended learning strategy. To clarify, each student is responsible to
complete a document, but may work with a classmate to work on their two documents
together. For a classwork/effort grade, show the teacher your Completed Criterion B,
Objectives 1 and 2 Evidence of Work and Process Journal document by the date
announced in class.
1. Brainstorm the possible solutions (products).Create a list of five or more different
products or ways that this project can be created in Criterion C – Creating the Solution.
Hybrids (or combinations of two specific ways) may be included. Include the solution
(product or software) that is assigned for this project: a presentation, movie, or webpage.
2. Check the solutions (products) you have brainstormed, using a test (checklist) and also
write an overview about each of your three solutions (products). a.Select three products
from your brainstormed list in #1 above (e.g., iMovie, Weebly, Paper Mache Globe),
including the software or product that you plan to use with this project, and list them here.
b. Compare and contrast your three selected products, for each product, list ten or more
specific steps or things that you will need to do to successfully create your product. Either create
a chart or table like the one below or create a different design digitally or by hand (e.g., flow
charts, bubble maps, drawings with descriptions, etc.). Check each product with your itemized
checklist, with an appropriate response (Yes/No, or ü or X, or J or L, etc.). Your chart or design
serves as a test or checklist. Your answers will compare three products. Which product meets
your test or checklist the best? Analyze carefully whether every component of your checklist can
be covered in each possible product.

1. In an essay of 15 lines (Times New Roman, font size 12, and 1 inch margins) or
longer, compose a thorough, detailed description of each of your three product ideas. As
you analyze and evaluate each product, compare and contrast each product's answers to
the other two products.
2. Provide the pros and cons of each solution (product).With the same three products that
you used in #2 above, analyze and evaluate your test or checklist that you designed for
number two. List at least three pros and cons per product. Please note: if the solution
(product) will not meet one of the points on your checklist, then it would be a con. Either
create a chart or table like the one below or create a different design digitally or by hand
(e.g., flow charts, bubble maps, drawings with descriptions, etc.).

1. In a paragraph of three or more sentences, define the word, brainstorming, and discuss
the purpose of brainstorming ideas.
2. In two or more sentences, discuss why it is helpful and important to narrow-down a list
of five or more ideas or products to three for testing and analysis.

creating step-by-step checklist of things to do to successfully for your project, assist you with
analyzing, and comparing and contrasting, your three products?

each product provides additional data and therefore, assists you with comparing and
contrasting your three products.
