Purpose of this Assignment

Because of the way the school year runs, it's almost critical that the first steps of any applied project take place before Christmas in order to complete data collection by May. In your design, your First Step will be identified. You should take this initial step and provide a brief report about it. In addition, you should incorporate your attempts to respond to any feedback previously given for drafts of Applied Project pieces.

Task

Provide prior relevant drafts and feedback along with your assignment submission.
Rework any Design or Development elements according to feedback received earlier. Highlight these changes, if possible.
Restate the First Step identified in your Design.
Take the First Step, whatever it is. Do additional parts of your Design if appropriate.
Write a brief report telling what you did and how well it went. (It does not matter if your effort succeeded - your attempt is what counts here.) The report may be in brief, bulleted language.
Provide evidence to document your First Step. This should be some little artifact or show-and-tell item that corresponds with what you did.
