Story Board

The story being told is a soccer team, in the middle of the game when an opponent kicks the other player. The player was nasty for kicking the other player that way. Immediately after the painful looking kick, the rest of the teammates get so upset and start a fight against the opposing team. Even local children soccer players watch the match and feel the pain for the player as well. The player obviously was penalized for the kick to the other player.

The audience was shocked by the players actions. One man stuck out in the crowd who looks as though he is praying for the player who was kicked. The sends out his positive vibes to the wounded player. The soccer game ended in the fight and will resume on a later day.

Next Story:

This is a story about a little girl lost in the woods. She is looking for her family. She starts to panic and then sees a deer which calms her down and makes her not fear as much before. The deer runs away shortly after she glances at it.

From what seems to be hours for the girl, when in reality was only a few minutes, she finally reunites with her family! She is thrilled to find her family and runs after them and stays by their side for the rest of the walk in the woods.

Table:

For my simple chart I chose to look at the number of applicants, acceptances, % of Applicant Accepted and New Freshman from 2004-2008. I googled "roger williams university undergraduate" and searched for my information needed. It was definitely interesting researching information about RWU since I go here I should know the different ratios of class acceptances. I actually had problems in excell for this assignment, on a few occassions when I was typing in a number it kept making it a percent even though I manually tried to change it. I tried fixing it over and over but it still kept doing it! And it was at random too, as you can see under 2004 applica

nts it's as a percent when it should be 6,196. It did the same thing with the acceptances for 2005 it should be 5,444. Also for applicants for 2008 it should be 8,921 and new freshman should be 954. I am really confused as to why this kept happening. Out of all our assignments this was by far my least favorite, I really don't enjoy using excell and haven't had enough background practice in it.

Flow Charts

For my amazon.com flow chart I had to simplify the steps for purchasing a book on the site. I have never used amazon before so this was all new to me, so I was learning along while I created my flow chart. It was a little difficult at first because I actually made an account so I could get a better feel for the flow chart, which I have shown in my chart. I think I made my flow chart easy to understand and I feel as though anyone who has never used the site can understand my directions like I did! My aha moment definitely at the end when I succeeded in my task!!

For my google scholar search flow chart I included all the necessary steps in order to find the proper source. I used different shapes to represent such as the oval for the beginning and ending shapes. I included the questions that one should ask when researching a subject. It seems complicated by writing down each detailed step but once you follow the direction of the flow chart it becomes much easier to understand. My aha moment was once again when I completed the chart, it was a moment of relief that I had achieved my goal!

Explanation Graphic

For my explanation graphic I chose the human heart and the way the blood flows. As you can see I used an image that did not have enough information and added onto the image by including arrows and more information to make is less confusing. Next I added color and arrows to make the image to be complete and self explanatory. And finally I labeled the different parts of the heart and the way in which blood flows. It is much easier to understand my last graphic compared to my first.

So basically I started off from an image without any description to it. The next image I added a little more detail. Then my final image I drew out the heart and used arrows and different colors to make it easier to understand. Then the final step was to add labels! aha! I created an explanation graphic!!

How to make a Spaghetti Dinner

Design Rationale:

When creating my "how to make a spaghetti dinner" I first I had to think about all the steps that were required and imagine how it would look drawing out images of the steps. My first step was of course to wash your hands, because no one wants dirty hands making dinner! Then next i took the box of spaghetti and took it out, after that I broke the spaghetti in half. Following a pot, filling it with water and putting it on the stove to boil. I used a clock without numbers to represent time. Next I needed a strainer, pasta sauce a plate and a fork and aha! I had just created a spaghetti dinner! I'm hungry from all this drawing!! I must say this project sounded easy but was time consuming trying to get everything right. But in the end result it all worked out.
