Today we will focus on the DESIGN - Criterion B Maximum 6 points

According to the IBO:
Students are expected to generate more than two feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5-6: The student generates more than two designs and selects one with several reasons. The student attempts to explain how his/her design meets his/her specifications.

2. Using paper and pencil (colored pencils/crayons/markers) you will create 3 different designs.

Insert text boxes but NOT the text for your recipe.

REMEMBER: all your information (complete recipe, 3 interesting facts, what it means to my family, image AND your first name and tutor group) must fit on the recipe flyer.

Look at an example of what we will be creating:  http://year7cookbook.pbworks.com/w/page/27257033/What%27s%20Cookin%27
