final model deliverable for crit

if you have a physical model: finalized model, professionally crafted and annotated. 

if you have a digital model: 11 x 17 color print, professionally crafted and annotated, pinned to the wall.
for your blog: a good-quality image posted along with a brief explanation of why you chose to include the components you did for your model. 

edit: 

for presentation: explain how and why your model is similar and different from previous models.
hint: this requires understanding of those models from the readings.
statement should be no longer than 3 minutes long.

this brief statement will be graded based on the following course objective: articulate research and demonstrate critical analysis, in both visual and verbal formats

example: my model is similar to emmert/donaghy because it has two communicators who both send and receive messages (this is the how part), rather than a sender and a receiver, which implies that communication is one-way. it's obvious that everyone both sends and receives messages constantly, so it's important to acknowledge that in my model. (this is the why part)
