 * ** Why did you change your plan? **
 * We changed our plan because we were not the main heroes and the requirements stated that we had to be the heroes, so we cut scooby doo and we were the only heroes.
 * ** Why did you change your story board? **
 * We added slides to our storyboard because we needed to build up to the story otherwise it would just seem really random.
 * Investigate:I did well on discovering on what comic life was, but I could have improved on my knowledge of the software before I started making it.
 * Plan: I really think I planned out how I would us my time well. I could have planned better on the because while making the comic, I had to make up a lot of content on the spot, because I realized that my original storyboard was quite vague.
 * Create: Brady and I worked diligently on this project, we worked every day from the start of class to the end, we even came in during Homeroom. There was one main thing that we could have done better, we could have made it prettier looking. We tried to organize everything, but all of our pictures just didn't flow.
 * Evaluate: Overall we did a good on this project, we met all of the requirements and we even had fun. Looking back there isn't much we could have improved on in the time that we had, just the organization.

** Attitude ** ** 18. Reflect on your attitude on each step of the Design Cycle. Did you completely answer each step without complaining, being a whiny baby, or saying "it's too hard". ** I completely answered every question on the design cycle with a good attitude. ** 19. What grade do you deserve on your attitude? (1 - 6) ** On my attitude I think I deserve a 6 because I always was in a good mood, trying my best, while having a good time!
