FPS: Steps 4-5-6 Review

FPS: Steps 4-5-6 Review

STEP 4

Writing Criteria

Writing Criteria

• Start with the question "Which solution will..." ?

• Should have only ONE idea in a DESIRED direction

• Must have a superlative

Examples:

Which solution will most improve coaches' knowledge of safety?

Which solution will be the easiest for coaches to put into practice?

Which solution will decrease the chance of youth getting injured while playing sports?

WRITE FIVE CRITERIA QUESTIONS

• 1st Question: Use the KEY VERB PHRASE in your Step 2 to base your cr

SCORING CRITERIA (STEP 4)

• ADVANCED = 3 points (Directly pertains to KVP or P in Step 2; ir uses specific concepts from Future Scene)

• MODIFIED = 2 points (has some details from Future Scene added, but is primarily Generic)

• GENERIC = 1 point (could be applied to other Future Scenes)

• DUPLICATE = 0 points

• NOT RELEVANT = 0 points (does not relate to evaluating solutions for this Future Scene)

Multiple Choice

What must every Step 4 criterion have?

• a superlative

• a question at the end

• only one idea

STEP 5

Applying Criteria

PROCEDURES FOR THE GRID

• List your 8 best solutions

• Rank them 8 - 1 (8 being the highest) Hint: Start with 8, then 1; then 7, then 2, etc. Then fill in the middle.)

• Add up each row mentally

• Have one person use the calculator to check

• If there is a tie, you must break it

Breaking a Tie (if First Place)

• Add a sixth criteria question to evaluate the two tied ideas; OR

• Decide which criteria question is most important and weight it (double those points only so they are 2-16) and add totals again; OR

• Recheck your rankings and make a change - just be careful that you still have 1-8 in each column and your totals are correct (add up to 180)

WRITE FIVE CRITERIA QUESTIONS

• 1st Question: Use the KEY VERB PHRASE in your Step 2 to write an advanced criterion

• 2nd Question: Use your PURPOSE in Step 2 to write an advanced criterion

Multiple Choice

How many solutions should be in your grid?

• 16

• 8

• 4

• None of the above

Multiple Select

What is one way to break a tie in selecting your solution?

• Flip a coin

• Add another criteria question

• Play rock-paper-scissors

Fill in the Blank

What is the TOTAL number of points that should be in your completed grid?

STEP 6

Developing an Action Plan

Anatomy of an Action Plan

• Start with your basic solution idea (first paragraph)

• Include details on how the plan will operate

• Include timelines and tasks for implementing the plan

• Solve a potential problem or obstacle

• Clearly state HOW the plan will solve your UP and impact the Future Scene

Hints for Writing an Action Plan

• It MUST be about your BEST solution (the one that got the most points on your grid)

• Address your criteria questions (Step 4) in your Step 6

• Be sure to address your KVP and Purpose - does your plan clearly meet your goals?

• Does it have a solid impact on the Future Scene?

• Use the 5 W's (Who-What-Where-When-Why and How) to fully explain your plan

Always include RESEARCH

It is challenging with time constraints to write a fully developed Action Plan, but you should aim to have a least one full page if not more (Think 4-5 paragraphs)
