1.  15 minutes typing (if you haven't finished your designs please finish designs)
2.  Year 6 it all begins with a plan!

PLAN - Criterion C

1. Resources: Computer, OpenOffice Presentation, Design Specification, Chosen Design.

2. Now, make a step-by-step plan of what you will do to create your poster using Open Office Presenter (or Open Office Impress 2010) AND estimate how long it will take you.

Example:
    1.  Open Open Office Presentation, 1 minute
    2.  Select Page Layout and change the Orientation to Landscape, 1 minute


Continue on until you have completed all the steps you think you will need and the time that it will take you. (You may open Open Office and practice while you are making the plan.)

Finish your step by step plan.

Write a paragraph saying why you think your plan will work. Include the fact that you have done a tutorial and have had experience using Open Office;-)

Welcome back Year 6. I hope you had a fantastic mid-term break and are ready to continue our project.

 1. 15 minutes typing, then

 2. Plan - Criterion C (maximum 6)

• What is the "Plan" stage of the MYP Design Cycle?  According to the MYP, "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."

Task: 
First, let's look at the coloured strips of paper.  They consist of a yummy recipe for chocolate cake.  We will work in pairs and put the strips of paper in order.

Next, we will glue the strips onto paper.

Well done Year 6.  You have created a production plan for making a yummy chocolate cake;-)
