The LEVEL 5 DB shown below states what students are supposed to do; remember, I am looking for at least minimum I B points earned in order to receive a 10 for a HW grade.  This is not a grade for the DESIGN CYCLE/BRIEF.  This is a homework grade displaying that the student is working.  The COMPLETED DESIGN CYCLE/BRIEF will be graded at the end of 7th week of the quarter.  Ask your child what they are doing because they are the creator of their 'product' that will solve the PROBLEM.

Students are expected to have descriptor C started.

Students are expected to start descriptor D, Create . STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO WORK ON THEIR PRODUCT IN CLASS ALSO!
