Scoring

      The fonts of the program go animate are scored 5 because they are understandable and big for the 6th graders to read.The  simplicity of go animate is 5 because the explanation of the design cycle is simple enough for a 6th grader. The quality of go animate is a 4 because it isn't that great, but is still good. Characters of go animate are a 4 because their quality isn't that good.

      The simplicity of go animate is great, this program is very easy to use, anyone who wants to make a video using go animate can do it. There are various but simple steps to creating a video on go animate, you can add things or take away stuff from the video to make it better. this program is very simple for any videos to make.
      The quality of the program go animate is great. The program will briefly explain the design cycle to the 6th graders which will help them understand it. The quality of the website is good because it lets you create whatever you want in your video. The quality of go animate is good because it involves two characters in the video, one of the characters confused about the design cycle, the other explaining the design cycle to the one that is confused.

       The characters in the video are going to be good characters communicating to each other about the design cycle. these characters in the video will be simple and explaining the design cycle in a simple way. There will be two characters in the video one explaining the design cycle to the other, this will help a 6th grader learn because it will briefly and simply explain the design cycle.

        The fonts of my video are great. my fonts in the video are readable and are big enough to see. these fonts will help the 6th grader read. If the 6th graders aren't able to hear the video for some reason then they could read the lettering to understand whats going on. The reason the fonts is a four, is because if you make a mistake in the fonts then you wont be able to go back and fix it.

           The fonts of Animator are 0 because there are no fonts in  the program animator. This is a problem because the 6th graders my not be able to enable sound, and the fonts could help the 6th grader by reading it. The good thing is that a font isn't necessarily needed because it is just a video, the only good use the fonts would make to the video is if the speakers don't work and u have fonts in your video.

           The simplicity of animator is 1 because it is very difficult to use and you have to use a lot of tutorials to use the program animator. To use the program animator you have to use tutorials to help you use this program. This program requires lots of practice because it has a lot os steps to using it.

           The quality of the program animator is 5 because the program is very good, and it is able to make the video explain the design briefly. This program allows you to create or add anything you need to make your video perfect. This program will make my video good enough to help the 6th graders to understand the design cycle and to remember it for the rest of their live, and to use it whenever they need to.
            The characters in the program are a 5 because you can make them do whatever you need them to do in order to explain the design cycle. If i were to use the program animator the there would be two characters involved in the video explaining to each other what the design cycle is and how it is used. they would explain examples of how people use the design cycle around their community.
