Criterion C: Creating the Solution Level 1 My Career InvestProject

Criterion C, Objective 1: I can outline a plan, which considers the use of resources and time, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create a solution.

Evidence of Work - Classwork and Homework

Describe, discuss, and analyze your Criterion C, Objective 1 Evidence of Work. Be very thorough and cite specifics as you answer questions, provide information, and follow instructions.

Review the what our project is about: What is my project about? What are the expectations? In our IB world, our project is about you using the Design Cycle and your critical thinking skills to inquire, research, analyze, develop ideas, plan, create, evaluate, and reflect a presentation of your choice about your interests, values, your Learner Profile traits and characteristics of five or more world leaders, including their Learner Profiles. You are expected to write strong, effective sentences. What does a strong, effective sentence look like? Besides being grammatically correct, a strong effective sentence elaborates with specifics and depending upon the question or task, it may also analyze, compare/contrast, draw conclusions, make predictions, evaluate, or reflect. So please apply your higher order thinking skills as you answer questions and complete tasks. You are expected to go above and beyond, think globally, look at the bigger picture, carefully read and purposefully read and follow instructions for each question, item, or task for each criterion. As principled IB learners, you are expected to complete your work with honesty and integrity in an organized and timely manner. Which of our IB MYP IB Learner Profile traits fit you the most? Why? Which Learner Profile traits best match specific world leaders, both present and past? Exactly how? What characteristics may a person have to exemplify a specific learner profile traits?

Instructions for My Plan: Complete 3 Tasks

Overview Complete all instructions and paperwork for your plan first before creating your product on your computer or laptop. Another person should be able to successfully complete your presentation or product based on the plan part of Criterion C. This paperwork include three tasks: Task #1: Data paraphrased from your Criterion A research, rewritten for your created product, along with other required information (title, your name, introduction, conclusion, and credits). Task #2: A storyboard or other appropriate drawing or design that sketches the layout and provides every detail about your product: information, graphics, optional sound, optional video, etc., according to the my created specifications for my selected software or product in this Criterion C: Creating the Solution Evidence of Work document. Task #3: An essay of 20 or more strong, effective sentences in which you thoroughly and analytically summarize your plan for your product. Task #1 Below, paraphrase data from your Criterion B, Objective 4’s drawing /diagram. Repeating: paraphrase (rewrite your research in your own words) from your bubble map, flow chart or other drawing/diagram. 1. Title, name, block, etc.: 2. Introduction: What will my presentation be about? 3. My Interests and Values: 4. The IB Learner Profile (Rewrite your descriptions). a. Inquirers: b. Knowledgeable: c. Thinkers: d. Communicators: e. Principled: f. Open Minded: g. Caring: h. Risk Takers: i. Balance: j. Reflective : 5. Which Learner Profile traits best match me and why? 6. Profiles of 5 or More World Leaders: His or Her This Person’s Job or A Significant Main Characteristics That Name of Government Nation Accomplishment or Learner Display This Learner Leader Title / Contribution Profile Profile Trait Corporation Trait(s)

7. Conclusion: What did I learn from completing my project? 8. Credits (With three or more sources used for research, list in MLA format/ABC order): Task #2 Create and design your storyboard or other appropriate drawing that sketches the layout of your product with both the information above and both your created specifications and our required specifications in mind. What is a storyboard? Please read and examine the article at http://resources.goanimate.com/marketing/what-is-a-storyboard-and-why-do-you-need-one. A. Your specifications (or guidelines for your presentation or product) depend on the specific alternate multimedia software or other product you choose to create and design. Right here, first, outline or list your specifications for your software or product: 1. Size or length expected (number of frames or slides, or number of webpages, or size of paper mache globe, etc.): 2. Amount of time expected to take to present and explain your product to your audience: 3. List specific, step-by-step-instructions here about how to create your multimedia product or how to construct your product: 4. Any other specifications that you want to include are: ***Other required specifications are as follows (read only):***  Include all topics and information from Task #1 above.. This may be modified and organized differently for webpage software.  Unless you are creating a podcast, have enough graphics to provide visual context and balance. Graphics should fit in with the context, purpose, organization, and style of the presentation; and graphics should help to guide the viewers’ focus to the important content on the page.  And if you choose –optional audio and video. B. Create and design a storyboard or other appropriate drawing that sketches the layout and provides every detail about your product: information, graphics, optional sound, optional video, etc., according to the specifications. The paper storyboard provided in class is useful for iMovie or any presentation software that uses frames or slides. There are other storyboard templates available online if you prefer a different template. Any handwritten or printed storyboards are to be given to the teacher when you share and present your created product (one of our presentation alternatives). Task #3 Below the next paragraph of instructions, compose your essay of 20 or more strong, effective sentences in which you thoroughly and analytically summarize your plan for your presentation. You are expected to write strong, effective sentences. What does a strong, effective sentence look like? Besides being grammatically correct, a strong effective sentence elaborates with specifics and depending upon the question or task, it may also analyze, compare/contrast, draw conclusions, make predictions, evaluate, or reflect. So please apply your higher order thinking skills as you answer questions and complete tasks.

Do not merely repeat data and information from your rewritten research and storyboard. Dig deeper as you explain, analyze, and predict exactly what your presentation will look and sound like. How much time do you expect it will take you to complete your multimedia or web design presentation? What do you expect to work well? What obstacles, constraints, and issues do you expect to possibly encounter and how will you solve them?
