Investigation Journal

LEARNING TARGETS:
»  I can document my entire process in my blog
»  I understand the responsibilities and ethics associated with publishing to the internet
 
EXPECTATIONS:
»  CREATE: Every day you investigate your design,  document it in your blog

 

You're daily documentation is very important and as required by MYP.  Document everything, your notes, sketches, images, photos, thoughts, and basically anything that is relevant to your project process. The best way to do this, is to take a screen shot of your work every day and posted in your blog.  Make sure you get the label of InvestigationJournal.

Self Assessment

Criterion A: Inquiring and analyzing
Maximum: 8
Students identify the need for a solution to a problem. At the end of year 5, students should be able to:
  1. explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
  2. identify and prioritize primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
  3. analyze a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
  4. develop a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of relevant research.
Achievement level

  4. develops a design brief, which explains the analysis of relevant research.
7-8
The student:

    the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem independently
  3. analyses a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the
    problem in detail
  4. develops a detailed design brief, which summarizes the analysis of
    relevant research.

  3. present the chosen design and justify its selection
  4. develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and outline the requirements for the creation of the chosen solution.

Achievement level
Criterion B: Developing Ideas
0
The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors given below.
