Then it's on to the EVALUATE Criterion E Maximum 6

Below please find the questionnaire that we will use to test your product. I will provide you with a paper version;-)

Show your product to 5 classmates and have them answer the questionnaire.

To test my product I will create a questionnaire. On a scale of 1-5, 1=awful and 5=awesome, please answer the following questions.

Did you find the color I used appealing?
Was it easy to recognize the purpose of my building from the design?
Do you feel that my choice of building would positively contribute to a "perfect" city?
Was my 3-D drawing complete?
Was it easy to identify the purpose of the inside rooms from their structure and location in the building?
Were my rooms decorated appropriately?

Then
1. Evaluate your product against the design specification and analyze your findings. Based on the feedback of your classmates how could you improve your product?

2. Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle: INVESTIGATE, DESIGN, CREATE. Remember to suggest ways that you can improve your performance in the future in each stage of the design cycle.

3. Look at the unit question - were you successful? Were we able to answer the unit question? Are you now aware of what kinds of buildings/businesses we need in a community? Was your building a positive contribution to the "perfect city"? What would the impact of your building/business be in a city?

The CREATE is almost finished.

1. Open your Google SketchUp 7 final product and I will come around and grade your actual product.

2. Write a reflection on the process of creating your product using Google SketchUp 7. Include any difficulties you had, obstacles that you overcame, successes, and any modifications/changes that you made. Remember you need to make a statement, then support your statement by giving more detail (example, reason, etc).

3. Please print your reflection and submit at the end of the first period.

Year 8, continue with your CREATE. It needs to be finished today. At the beginning of next lesson I will grade your work in class.

Learning Objectives: The student will be able to work to produce a product/solution of quality appropriate to MYP Year 2.

May 10, 11, 13, 14

Year 8, now we will fast forward to CREATE: Criterion D Maximum 6 points

We will do the PLAN - Criterion C as a homework assignment;-)

Look at the descriptors for Criterion D Assessment:

1-2 The creates at least part of a product/solution.

3-4 The student uses a limited range of appropriate techniques and equipment resulting in a product/solution of a reasonable quality.

5-6 The student uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student mentions any modifications made resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

So, today you will begin to create your product. The design specification is as follows:

The final product must include:

1. Color - you must incorporate color
2. Recognizable - the building must be easily recognizable
3. Positive contribution to the perfect city
4. 3-D
5. Rooms must have a specific purpose (example: in a Restaurante there are several "rooms": dining room, kitchen, storage area, WC, staff room, etc.
6. 2 inside rooms are "decorated" (can use items from the 3-D Warehouse)

Learning Objectives: The student will be able to work to produce a product/solution of quality appropriate to MYP Year 2.

May 3, 4, 6, 7

Continue with your designs. Don't forget to evaluate each against the design specification, then choose 1 and fully evaluate it against the design specification.
