Thesis Statement

        Prompt #2 
      
          Johnny Depp is a famous actor that is considered a hero for the things he has done for others, being a respectful person, and loving and caring for others. He is the hero everyone looks up to because of the way he acts and would do in order to make things right. People look up to these things because they would want to hang out with someone they can trust. On this case, Johnny Depp is a good example due to his behavior with people and children during presentations, introductions, etc.

What I did today

My 3 DESIGNS

      I am going to describe what the stage is (investigate, plan, create, evaluate) & put a picture or image that describes or relaates to it. I'm going to do this by breaking the word down (such as investigate; in for internet; s for solve "t" the problem; etc.).
      Another design  I wanted to do was puting pictures that describe the criterion as a background and the word on top of the pictures. This will help the 6th graders to remember the design cycle better and relate other things with it to remember it as well.
       A third design I wanted to do is put the pictures on top and the word on the bottom of the text. In other words, I'm going to describe what you need to do in the criterion and put the picture that best describes it on top. This will give the 6th graders an understanding of what the criterion is about.
