Year 6, there is 1 more step for Criterion A: Develop a Design Brief (strand 4).

You have collected a lot of information that requires analysis and a summary. The design brief contains only useful information. The design brief should outline what you intend to design to "solve your problem", provide answers to each of the research questions, and clarify the essential and desirable features of a solution. It should also state values that the design must meet, such as the following.

  • When designing a bird house, the student may have researched the size of desired birds and therefore determined the size of the entry hole to the bird house.
  • When designing a new noodle product, the student may have determined the “base” recipe for making the noodles as part of his or her research.
  • When designing a web page, the student may have identified certain fonts or images that need to be included.
  • When designing a video game, the student may have identified particular sprites that he or she will use to represent the main characters in the game. 
 
When writing a design brief
Students should:
Students should NOT:
  • present information concisely
  • explain how and why the information is relevant to solving the problem
  • evaluate the validity of the data
  • present their research in an appendix
  • cite all sources of information using appropriate conventions.
  • write large paragraphs of text
  • include statements that do not relate to solving the problem
  • make statements without evidence from expert opinion or data
  • include all of their research within the body of the project.

Examples of a design brief can be found here: https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/server2/rest/app/tsm.xql?doc=m_8_techn_tsm_1406_1_e&part=3&chapter=4


Your task:
