Flowchart
A flowchart is a picture that shows the steps of the decision making process. Computer programmers use them to help computers "think", but you can use one to show how you make everyday choices.
You’ll create a flowchart that uses a or b decisions to show how you decide something in your own life.
Here's one I made to show how I decide whether to take the tollway to work or the freeway.
Step 1: Plan it on paper
-
Choose a real decision from your life:
> What should I eat for dinner?
> Should I go for a run today?
> Which TV show will I watch? -
Write out your starting question.
-
Add at least three A or B questions that lead to different outcomes.
-
Make sure each question can be answered with A or B.
Show me your plan on paper before you start the slide.
Step 2: Set up your Google Slide
-
Open Google Slides.
-
Click File → Page setup → Custom.
-
Set the size to 8.5 x 11 inches.
-
This will make it easy to print.
Step 3: Build your flowchart
-
Use the Insert menu or the toolbar to add shapes (for questions and answers) and arrows (to show the path).
-
Start with a “Start” shape.
-
Each question should branch to two choices - A or B - and a response - yes or no.
-
End with clear outcomes (for example: Take the tollway, Take the freeway, Stay home, Watch Show A, Watch Show B).
Step 4: Finish and turn it in
-
Check that your flowchart is neat, readable, and easy to follow.
-
Make sure you actually used it to show how you decide something real in your life.
-
Add the finished flowchart to your website.
Remember: my tollway/freeway example asks four questions if you count the first one.
Yours should too.
Here's a cool one for choosing a book to read.
