3- Application: Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge (e.g., what

you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively).

Think of your general main theme and write that down in the center of the page. i.e. Food  Figure out sub-themes of your main concept and draw branches to them from the center, beginning  to look like a spider web i.e. Meats, Dairy, Breads  Make sure to use very short phrases or even single words  Add images to invoke thought or get the message across better  Try to think of at least two main points for each sub-theme you created and create branches out to  those.

4- Insight: Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your

challenge (e.g., how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design  thinking more broadly).

5- Approach: Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you

selected or a different one -- and the reason(s) why.
