Plan

http://heymonicab.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/make_a_plan2.jpg

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.

Tasks
1. List all the resources that you will need,
2. Write a step-by-step plan that you could give someone else to create your game,
3. Include a gantt chart
4. Write a paragraph (or two) that evaluates your plan and justify any design changes that you are making.

Design

Next is the DESIGN (Criterion B) stage of the Design Cycle.

Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification.

For you to get a 5/6:  You generate 3 possible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. You justify the chosen design and evaluate it full and critically against the design specification.

FYI (For your information) - Here is an example of a design of a grammar review quiz/game that I made. Click on the above picture to enlarge it and look carefully at the image. Can you understand how this quiz/game will function?  This is an example of what I would like you to produce.
