Good Morning Year 10.  I'm a bit under the weather today and have a touch of laryngitis.  Don't worry, it's not contagious!!!

This week work hard to finish your game.  I can't wait to play them.

Remember that when you finish your CREATE you need to write a paragraph(s) to say if your plan worked and write about any changes you made to your design;-)

Learning objective: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently, follow the plan to produce the product/solution, evaluate the plan and justify andy changes to the plan (when necessary), create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

Year 10 - It's the day of São Martinho!  Where are the chestnuts?????

Before we begin, let's take a minute to discuss netiquette. Let's look at this article to understand the circumstances: http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailybeast/20100930/ts_dailybeast/10178_rutgerssuicideshocktylerclementisvideosextorment_1

It's important to know that there are consequences for actions.

Now, let's continue on with the plan. . .

Good Morning Year 10 and welcome back. I hope you had a great half-term break.

Now, it's on to PLAN - Criterion C (maximum 6)
According to MYP Technology, "Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a serios of logicl 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 that make any necessary adjustments.

Please look at the examples for ideas;-)

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
