1.  Remember, you need a Process Journal: Include the date, print screens, and what you accomplished in class.  What is going right?  What is going wrong?

2.  Follow your plan.  Is it working exactly?  Keep a record of what works and what doesn't.

These web sites will be FAB!!!!!

Welcome back Year 9.  Hope you had a great half-term;-) 

Remember that it all starts with a PLAN - Criterion C.

According to the IBO:  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 logical steps that include resources and time.
The student evaluates the plan and attempts to justify any modifications to the design.

Today I would like you to:
1. Create a list of all the "Resources" that you will need the day you create your website.
2. Create a step-by-step plan to create your website - include the approximate time you will need to complete each step.

Learning objective - The student will: devise a series of logical steps to create the product/solution; construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time.
