toc =** Guiding Questions **= Write the answers to each of the questions to help you organise your research phase.

// Is there anything you need to find out how to do? What research will you need to carry out? //
 * What do I need to know before I can begin to design a solution to the challenge? **

// Where can you find information to help you? Will you use books/websites/experts/surveys? //
 * What are some sources of information? Who/what can help me? Where can I find these? **

// Who is interested by and / or affected by the challenge? Who is the client? The users? //
 * Who are the stakeholders in the challenge? **

=** CV Research **= Once you have completed the guiding questions, think about the information you need to find to create it. Perhaps you need to find information from people, books or the internet. Do you know which software you will use? Do you know how to use it? If not, how will you find out what you need to know?

** Interview with Mr Saunders **
Mr Saunders regularly reads the CVs of teachers who apply for jobs at Taihu. He could be a good source of information.

= ** Sources ** = Here are two websites that help you write your sources correctly. Easy bib and Bibme. For each piece of information, list the source correctly using APA referencing. You also need to explain how helpful it is, how reliable it is and summarise what you found from that source.

=** Overview **= Write a paragraph to summarise:
 * 1) what product you will create
 * 2) why you will create it
 * 3) who it is aimed at

For example a good overview (design brief) might look like this:

"Teenagers have very busy lives. School, family and social activities mean that being punctual is very important.

I will design and make a wall clock that will be appealing for teenage girls. It will be a modern design and will be suitable for a teenage girl's bedroom. Because the design will appeal to teenage girls, them they will be more likely to look at it, read the time and therefore not be late.
