time I started by attempting to incorporate animation. I worked with this process for a long time and ultimately realized that it was further confusing me and how to integrate iterations into the code. Once again I put myself in the shoes of a student and tried to take a step back. I recognized that this was making me frustrated and the process that was previously exciting and where I could see the information synthesizing was becoming murkey and I was losing the origional concept entirely. I thought about if I was a teacher to this student what would I do? I would tell that student to evaluate what the core concepts of this project were and what I needed to know and master in order to continue learning. So, I decided to go back. Instead of trying to incorporate animation, I went back through the code I had already written and looked for opportunities to revies and integrate iteration instead of having repitetitive code. There were a few different places that needed to be adjusted and that was difficult at times, but I was able to complete them all! This was a really big win for me in a process that has not been easy. For the future, I want to incorporate a different planning strategy that will be a little less create and play and a little more step by step. |

(Drawing project)
This is the README file for your drawing project. Replace all the text in parentheses with your own text. It's written in a simple language called Markdown, which allows basic formatting.
Description
My goal for this project is to make a line of books with the spines facing out as they sit on a bookshelf. The animation part of the project would be the last book on the shelf falling down.
Planning
I have this projct outlined into a few milestones. My goal is to break this down one part at a time like definitions and functions do with code. My first milestone would be to create the line of rectangles of differing sizes. These would be the outlines of the books themselves. Once those are in a line I will work on adding detail to the books. This would be smaller regtangles, squares, and circles that emulate publishing logos, names, and titles on the spines. Then the final milestone would be the final book falling on it's side. Depending on my ability to work through this drawing, I could also put the books on a shelf. I am a visual person so I have begun to sketch the steps, but I am still working on them, I would be happy to share as they progress!
Feedback
Rebecca, this sounds great! If you find the project straightforward, it will be interesting to see how you can extend it.
