Summary of review 4 on 11th August 2009

• You need to elaborate on the exercises. Build on them so that it is clear to you what and how the child will learn from them.
• Each exercise should have a process. For example if the exercise is about inventing a word, how will you engage the child in inventing the word. Otherwise the child may lose interest.
• The exercises could appear in stages depending on the difficulty of each.
• Look at books on design synectics.
• The essence of the package should be fun and playful. That means that I have to allow myself to get into the feel of the book while designing the content. Don’t just think of things of the top of your head; make the exercises really creative and interactive.
• Think about how you will convince parents to buy the book. Some parents don’t understand the value of creativity. How do you sell the product to them?
• Elaborate on the observations made during the research process. Mention where each observation took place and what it was that you observed.
• Refer to the child as the learner or the user.
• Make your presentation more professional. Add illustrations instead of photographs to make it more personal.
• Create 10 exercises which are really good with the process of how each will be done. Gather materials and conduct the workshop on Monday. Figure out how you will conduct it and write it down to make it easier for your self. Anticipate what the possible problems could be and go prepared. Document by taking pictures and video. Take a friend along for this if possible.
