January 8


Good Afternoon and Welcome back Year 7!

First, let's start the class with a little typing lesson. Click here to visit Free Typing Games. This site offers free lessons and games. To become a really proficient (fast and accurate) typist, you should do a combination of both lessons and games. Lessons help because they show you where you should place your hands on the keyboard and give practice with specific letter combinations. Lessons help typing become automatic. Games are fun and help you build speed!

Next, let's take a look at the 5 steps of the MYP Design Cycle. It's really important to understand how it works. Investigate, Design, Plan, Create, Evaluate

Then, let's explore the unit of work.

Finally, let's begin the Investigation.


1) Let's look at the structure of the documentation process. Remember that this is a scholastic document (a formal school project) and should conform to certain standards. That means that is a school project that you must hand in and you will be graded upon this work so it has to look professional;-)

We will type in font size 12. We will type in black. We will use a formal font (Times New Roman, Calibri, Ariel).

Let's look at the template for the Investigate that will make this process easier for us: Click Here
