Week 5 in Class

In class today we had guests go through our flow charts. Here is their feedback.

Sophie:

  • Differentiating American Football from Football was good, maybe add American to the title.
  • Try putting the field in the field or labelling the field with the different parts.
  • Padding vs equipment
  • Easy to go through
  • Integrate visuals more, goal post and helmets.
  • Coin toss incorporate a coin?
  • Easy to go through
  • Clear about actions vs decisions.
  • Choose play types could be clearer, didn’t immediately go to those areas – Move bottom part down and bring those closer in.
  • Concise sentence.
  • Felt like it was missing positions, clock, and how to end the game.

Colin:

  • Started at the top
  • What is a girdle? Maybe add a cup? in padding
  • Went to defense first instead of starting at the top of everything.
  • Explain the defense types, confused what the types are and why they matter. (maybe use an asterisk instead of pointing to the area)
  • Indirect arrows not clear
  • How do you gain 10 yards? not clear. is it a question instead of a decision?
  • Clarify where the arrows overlap, gets confusing
  • Explain what a 2 point conversion is and how to get those points.
  • How does the defense gain possession of the ball?
  • How does the game end?

?

  • Maybe make the field bigger so I can see what things are.
  • Defense types and images?
  • why does it matter how wide the field is?
  • Didn’t immediately go down, went left to right
  • Kick vs receive is confusing

Penny:

  • Went to the key first, then went to the beginning of the game
  • skipped play type, (for offense and defense)
  • Play type needs to be moved to fit in better
  • 4th down is confusing and needs to be clarified
  • the downs make sense
  • Missing how to win/quarters and timing.

Korin:

  • Words help map it out, the arrows are easy to see
  • Started at the beginning of the game, knew where to start.
  • Colors helped differentiate between offense and defense.
  • Downs are mapped out well, every scenario is there.
  • Change it so choosing plays stands out, or get rid of it.
  • Sentence is easy and explains it
  • Key helps to know what shapes mean what
  • Make the start bigger
  • Make sure the arrows touch the boxes

Molly:

  • Started at how to play
  • Looked at the key
  • Padding is broken down easily
  • Move everything down so equipment and field is above the start of the game so I don’t get ahead of myself
  • Not sure what to do with the width of the field. Maybe not needed?
  • Kick ball and receive ball is confusing, clarify.
  • Downs make sense, just clarify 4th down options.
  • Looked at the play types last and didn’t understand them.

Megan: (knew about football)

  • Kick and receive makes sense.
  • Went to play types in correct order.
  • Started at how to play and skipped field and equipment, later went back to it.
  • Explain Girdle, and other vocab words somewhere
  • Maybe the formations in the play types are not needed.
  • How does defense gain possession of the ball? Steps for that need to be shown
  • How to get the extra point or 2 point conversion
  • Formations don’t make sense, who runs right or left?
  • Needs timing and overtime?
  • Take out the play types?

Emily:

  • Sentence makes sense and is a good introduction to the game.
  • having the padding break down into separate parts is helpful.
  • Doesn’t understand what the things are under the field part.
  • Dotted lines aren’t clear.
  • What are running and passing plays
  • Having the parenthesis under snap ball helped.
  • Having the points under how you score them helps
  • How do you get the points?
  • 4th down is not clear
  • As you follow it it makes sense

Pannafino:

  • Fix the graphics, less cliparty, connect it more to the chart.
  • Add in timing and clarify things
  • Fix the arrows, too chunky, no diagonals, keep it consistent
  • Label fields and people?
  • Add in timing and how to win
  • Add in coach and how coaches choose plays
