Market Research

Once you have completed the Logo Review task, you should begin the 'Market Research' task that I presented to you at the start of the lesson. The PowerPoint presentation can be found by clicking on the link below:

Market Research Task

Once you have pasted your 3 designs onto your PowerPoint, you must complete some Market Research on your product. Here are some questions you may wish to consider:

• Which is your favourite design?
• Why?
• How much would you pay for your favourite design?
• Would you wear these as a fashion item or for sport?

Now you need to write 5 questions for your research (use mine or make some of your own). You must ask these questions to at least 5 members of the form (must be at least 1 boy and girl). You should make a note of their answers and then summarise the results on a final slide on your PowerPoint presentation.

Year 7 - Scratch Project for Last 4 Lessons

Download this Project Planning document by clicking on the link below:

PLAN

You should complete the plan for the project in the lesson today and save it into your ICT folders. If you finish the plan, you may start your Scratch project. The last 3 lessons of term will be spent completing the project. You should try to design a game or an animated story.

Try to use all of the skills that you have learned by completing the tutorials over the last week.


 

Work for Today

You now have 4 lessons to complete your quiz. You should use images, line up cells and change the background; making it as visually appealing as possible.

For those who have already completed a lot of questions, you could add another IF formula which will allow you to accept multiple answers for a particular question and still be correct.

For example, if you had the Spurs badge as your image, but somebody typed 'Tottenham' it would say they were wrong. You can now change this using this formula as an example:

=IF(OR(A1="Spurs",A1="Tottenham"),"Correct","Wrong")

This could be useful in other ways too. For instance, if you have a celebrity quiz, now you can accept full names or surnames as a correct answer. Try to use this formula at some point in your quiz.
