Year 10 - Let's review the Design Cycle:Investigate, Design, Plan, Create, Evaluate - these are all verbs, in other words Action Words

The first stage is Investigate - let's Investigate

Investigate
Design Brief - State Why/What/Where/Who and How for your problem
-Describe what the problem is related to an AOI
-Research the problem citing your sources in a full, organized bibliography (Use more than 5 different sources)
-Ask 4 or 5 pertinent questions that will drive your investigation. For example: What is a wiki? What is a tourist agency? . . . Remember to look at 3 different tourist sites to gather ideas.
-State which information you found to be useful/and not useful and why?
-Describe why these issues are important to you and/or other people

Design Specification - List what your product is going to be, be like, be used for, be able to do and be made with (bullet point this list). What will you include? Information? Facts? Links? Movie?

Test Plan - Describe a test that will check each point in your design specification
-Make sure that you describe who the test is for and how it will be used
