Year 11 - Please follow these instructions to complete your DESIGN - Criterion B.

Write a series of paragraphs to justify the person you have chosen to celebrate. You should mention 3 possible candidates, then justify the person you have chosen.

To get a: 1-2 the student makes some attempt to justify his/her chosen candidate,

Welcome back Year 11.

Criterion D: Create Maximum 6

Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques. Make a process journal, include printscreens.

Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution.

To get a 6 the student: competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student follows the plan and justifies any modifications made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

Learning objective: Use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently, follow the plan to produce the product/solution.

INVESTIGATIONS due - please submit at the beginning of class.


Year 11 - it all starts with a plan;-) Plan - Criterion C Maximum 6 points

According to MYP Technology, "Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.

Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design."

To get a 5/6: The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the use of resources and time. The student critically evaluates the plan and justifies any modifications to the design.

Ideas: Make use of Gantt charts, consider appropriate resources, consider problem areas and make any necessary adjustments.

Please look at the examples for ideas;-)

Plan due FEBRUARY 11

Learning objectives:
1. construct a plan to create the product/solution that has a series of logical steps
2. construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time
3. evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design

Palindrome

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward.
> This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not
> only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.
> This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant.
> Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.
>
> This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year
