Investigate!

Year 7 - it's Friday already! Wow! Another week has flown by. Before you leave for the weekend, let's get some IT work done.

1. Take a quick minute and participate in the poll on the class blog,

2. Practice typing for 15 minutes (freetypinggame.net),

3. Open your Word document entitled "Design Cycle". You have your Identify the Problem paragraph finished. Please show it to me.

4. We started the Develop a Design Brief and your task was to answer the following questions:

-What is the Design Cycle?

-How many stages does the MYP Design Cycle consist of? Name them.

-What Microsoft Office programs can I use to create a poster showing the MYP Design Cycle?

5. Now let's begin the Formulate a Design Specification. This is the part of the project where we describe conditions, requirements and restrictions. For this project I will give you the Design Specification. The poster must: include all 5 steps, be kid-friendly, and colourful.

6. Let's create a test to evaluate your product against the design specification.

Learning objectives: Students will finish research. Students will create a test(questionnaire) to evaluate their product.
