April 23, 24 (April 24 - Sports Day!)

Year 8, I hope you had a great break and are now back in the swing of things.

Today, we will look "properly" at the Unit of Work and finish our Investigations.

Let's first look at the Unit: Digital Story-telling

Remember, the Investigation has 3 parts: Identify the Problem, Develop a Design Brief, Formulate a Design Specification.

We have already Developed a Design Brief (this is the research part), and we have also Formulated a Design Specification (actually I gave you the design specification and you created a test to evaluate your product). Now, we only have to Identify the Problem.

As this is the FIRST part of the Investigate, we have to place this section BEFORE the other two (Develop a Design Brief, Formulate a Design Specification).

Identify the Problem (Write 1-2 paragraphs)

1-State the problem. Then restate (say again in your own words) the problem (from Unit of Work)

2-Explain and give details about the problem. Say who your "customer" is.

3-Say how you will solve the problem (Explain and give details)

4-Say how Approaches to Learning connects to your project (Explain and give details, examples)

5-Say how Human Ingenuity connects to your project (Explain and give details, examples)

Finally, before leaving this afternoon, please give me a digital version of your Investigation;-)

Have a great day tomorrow at St. Julian's
