Year 7 the Investigation has 3 steps:

1. Identify The Problem.  This is the part of the project in which you state: the problem, why we are doing this project, how you will solve the problem, who your product is for and connect your project to an area of interaction.
2. Develop A Design Brief.  This is the part of the project where you conduct research which will help you solve your problem. You always reference your research.
3. Formulate A Design Specification.  This is the part of the project that you say what characteristics your final product will have.  You also create tests to evaluate your product.

Learning objective - The student will: understand the concept of a design brief and adapt a given design brief to the problem or, with guidance, start to develop a design brief. Students will (A3) ask useful questions about the investigation and (A6) understand the importance of questioning the value of sources of information.

First, 15 minutes typing lesson,

then

Year 7, We are ready to start our project.

Our unit question is: How can I use Computer Technology to teach other about the MYP Design Cycle?

You have received your Investigate Worksheet so we can begin learning about the MYP Design Cycle and documenting our work.

Let's look at the Information Sheet that is located below:

Remember to use the information sheet and your teacher as sources;-)

My name is Ms. Castro and I will be your teacher for the entire year.

Let's take this period to:

• get acquainted,
• talk about expectations, and 
• make a list of rules.

We will talk about the Design Cycle and how it is used to help solve problem.

Let's go!
