   many celebrities do bad stuff. charlie sheen doing drugs or Britney spears shaving her head, but many other celebrities do good stuff. some give to charity, or give to poor. but they all have something in common, they give. one of those people that gives a lot to many people is angelina jolie. she gives money to charity, she adopts kids, and she helps the poor countries.

self rating

i give myself a 6 because i made an arcade game instead of a flipbook. i made the arcade game and the 10 questions regarding the design cycle. i made it in less than 10 minutes because the class was almost going to end.

self rating

i rate myself a 5 because i thought up the three designs without distruption. i just took a little long on thinking up the three designs. thats why i gave myself a 5.

3 designs

i thought of three flipbooks i could make and these were the ones.
   the first design that i desided to make is one that an investigator is trying to solve a crime using the design cycle.
    the second design that i could make was one that a teacher uses the design cycle to find out who stole her $20.00 pen.
   the final design that i could make is one about where a cat gets lost and the owner tries to find the little cat
for her daughter.
those are the three designs that i can choose

self rating

rating

i rate myself a 4 because i was doing my job just that i was talking a little bit. i talked soft enough so i won't    
disturb other people around me. thats why i give myself a 4
