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.
3. Write a paragraph to evaluate your plan.  Remember that you have: completed a tutorial, created a practice html page, and can use any tools/charts to help you create your plan.

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.

It's almost half-term . . .  But before we go let's make good progress on Criterion B (Design).

First we need to look at the assessment criterion - http://www.box.net/shared/bqgkc1ri7t

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

1. Generate (make) 3 different but possible designs,
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, ask others).

Today we have a double you should complete all three designs today during class.

IB Learner Profile: Risk-taker

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.
