DESIGN:
If you chose to create a story you need to come with 2 different ideas for your interactive story in the form of storyboards (use the template).
If you chose to create a game you need to come with 2 different ideas for your game in the form of flow diagrams.
PLAN:
Make a list of the resources you will use to create this project
Create your plan using the template provided (make sure you include a BETA stage for your game or story)
CREATE
Create and document your game or story following the timeline in your plan
EVALUATE
Evaluate your final project based on your testing. What stage of the design cycle did you enjoy the most? Which one was the easiest? Which one was the most challenging? How will you overcome these challenges next time?
Example:
The Story:
A story about a girl who has to move countries and schools and struggles to fit in and learn the new language. As soon as she learns the language and has made some friends she has to move schools again.
A Conflict:

• a character versus him- or herself
• a character versus the community or society (eg: Girl vs. New Language)
• a character versus nature
• a character versus a higher power
• a character versus technology
Project Examples:
1. We see the girl at a new school and we can click on different things in her environment to see how she feels about them
2. Girl has to spell 5 foreign language words correctly to move on
3. Girl has to run away from bullies and make friends in a specific period of time
