Year 9, welcome back.  I hope you had an awesome half-term break.

As we previously discussed, you will have until Friday to re-submit your corrected Investigate.  Please take advantage of this opportunity as it will help improve your grade.  Please feel free to work on your CT project during break and lunch.

Now, on to the CREATE - Criterion D

Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution.

To get a 6 the student: uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student follows the majority of the plan and mentions any modifications made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

1. Follow your plan to create your webpage.  Is your plan correct?  What changes have you made?  Keep track of this information as you will use if when you reflect on your plan. 
2.  Write a paragraph saying whether you plan worked and stating any modifications you made to your wiki page.

Create - Due Friday, March 2

IBO Learner Profile:  Knowledgeable

Learning objective: The student will: use appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; follow the plan to produce the product/solution with minimal guidance; review the plan and explain any changes to the plan (when necessary); create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

Year 9, some of you included too much information on your country in your Investigation.  How and when will you decide exactly what you will include on your wiki page?

Year 9, it's time to make a PLAN.

1. Open a Google document,
2. Title your document, Term 2 Plan,
3. Type your name at the top left,
4. Space down, type:  PLAN (all caps, centre justify),
5. Space down, type: Resources

Let's brainstorm the resources each of you will need to create your wiki page.

6. Type the list of resources that we have created,
7. Space down and type: Plan,

Open PBWorks

 8. Begin to create a list of the steps you will need to take to create your wiki page and the amount of time you think it will take (1 min is the minimum)

      Start like this:
       1. Open PBWorks, 1 min
       2.

Continue on until you have included everything necessary to complete your wiki page.

You have 2 class periods to complete this task.  Then write a paragraph saying why you think your plan will work.  Remember that you have lots of experience with wikis. You have done a tutorial and you had pbworks open when you were creating your page.


Learning Objectives for Plan:  The student will: devise, with guidance, a series of logical steps to create the product/solution; construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective ue of resources and time; analyze the plan and explain the need for any modifications to the plan.

Year 9, please submit your Investigation;-)

Next is the Design.

Remember that in order to get a 5/6 you must:

1. Generate (make) 3 different but possible designs of your wiki page,
2. Evaluate each design against your design specification (one way to start is: Design 1 meets my design specification because . . .),
3. Choose 1 design and write a paragraph to justify your choice (fully and critically justify your choice against the design specification - include pros/cons, compare/contrast against the other designs).

If you have any questions, please raise your hand I will be happy to help you.

Learning Objective: The student will: generate a range of designs that attempt to meet the design specifications; compare the designs against the design specifications and identify the pros and cons of each design; select one design and explain its choice.
