 * Rationale: **

__Task:__ Utilizing their notes, students will need to identify at least 4 design elements from 10 research images that back up their notes. In a design reflection, students will need to explain each kitchen design element. Students will need to answer guiding research questions at the culmination of the activity that will begin the design process for their own kitchen designs. __Process/Guidance:__ The web quest will be developed through use of Microsoft Office products. Guided notes and questions will be created in Microsoft word. Students will document their learning through Microsoft PowerPoint. Students will be expected to share the finished document for submission through Google Docs.

On the page that is entitled reflections, there are guiding reflection questions for the students to reflect upon. Each student is expected to reflect individually in the design portfolio which is completed in either PowerPoint, Prezi, or Google Presentation.

Students are not expected to give their opinions, just explain design elements of each.

__Process/Guidance:__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Students will scour the useful links that are posted to find at least 10 examples of good kitchen design. Using their notes, students must explain 2-3 design elements for each image that they find. Students will utilize PowerPoint to discuss their images. Students must remember to use proper MLA or APA citation for each image.

__Process/Guidance:__ To choose the best solution, you should create a design matrix and grade each design by the following categories.


 * Creativity
 * Functionality
 * Layout


 * //What is a design matrix?//**

A Design Matrix is a simple spread sheet that allows you to compare each design against each other. Using a 1-5 with 5 being the best and 1 he worst, grade each design in each category. Give a total score to each design by adding each category for a particular design. The design that has the highest grade is probably your best design.
