You will be given 5 minutes to present your Magazine Experience.

You will be provided with a rubric to access your presentation and yoru peer will also assess your presentation.

The presentation will be recorded to be presented to future classes.

The marks from the presentation will contribute to you Attitudes mark.

Attitudes


Criterion F: attitudes in technology
This criterion refers to students’ attitudes when working in technology. It focuses on an overall assessment of two aspects:
• personal engagement (motivation, independence, general positive attitude)
• attitudes towards safety, cooperation and respect for others.
By their very nature these qualities are difficult to quantify and assess, and assessment should therefore take into account the context in which the unit of work was undertaken.

Evaluate


CRITERION E EVALUATE
Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.
Achievement level Descriptor

0 The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors given below.
1-2 The student evaluates the product/solution or his or her own performance. The student makes some attempt to test the product/solution.
3-4 The student evaluates the product/solution and his or her own performance and suggests ways in which these could be improved. The student tests the product/solution to evaluate it against the design specification.
5-6 The student evaluates the success of the product/solution in an objective manner based on the results of testing and the views of the Intended users. The student provides an evaluation of his or her own performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggests improvements. The student provides an appropriate evaluation of the impact of the product/solution on life, society and for the environment.
Post testing – A stage in the design process where versions of products (for example, prototype) are tested against the need, applied to the context and presented to the end-user or target audience

Criterion D: Create



Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques. Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution.

Students will sometimes embark upon a very ambitious project, or they may encounter unforeseen circumstances. In some circumstances a product/solution that is incomplete or does not function fully can still achieve one of the levels awarded for this criterion.

0- The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors given below.
1-2The student considers the plan and creates at least part of the product/solution.
3-4 The student uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student follows the plan and mentions any modification made, resulting in a product/solution of good quality
5-6 The students competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The student follows the plan and justifies any, modification made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using available resources.
Appropriate Quality: This is the best product/solution that the student can produce, taking into account the resources available, the skills and techniques they have used, their educational development, how the product/solution addresses the identified need, and aspects of safety and ergonomics.

PLAN

PLAN


Design the Model
• generate a range of designs that attempt to meet the design specifications
• compare the designs against the design specifications and
identify the pros and cons of each design
• select one program design and justify its choice and possible improvements
Plan the Model
• devise, with guidance, a series of logical steps to create the product/solution
• construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective use of resources and time
• analyze the plan and explain the need for any modifications to the design.
Achievement level
Criterion C: PLAN

0 The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors given below.

1–2 The student produces a plan. The plan makes reference to resources and time. Describes, with guidance, the steps needed to create the product. With guidance, evaluate the plan and identify modification.

3–4 With some guidance, the student produces a plan that contains some detail of the steps. The plan shows some details in term of resources and time. The student attempts to analyze the plan against the design specifications.

5–6 The student produces a plan that contains a number of logical steps. The plan shows effective use of time and resources. The student identifies key aspects and safety hazards with the plan. The student analyses the plan against the design specification with regards to modification.

Activity 1 (Wk3) Criterion A -INVESTIGATE-PRINT MEDIA

a) Explain the problem
b) Discuss its relevance
c) Design brief: show how you intend to solve the problem you have presented. This will guide you investigation as you work to develop a more detailed design specification
d) Critically investigate the problem
a. Through appropriate (2) internet sources/(2)books/(2) newspapers or magazines
b. Through discussion with consumers
c. Through your personal experience
e) Evaluate the information you have critically collected and investigated. Make sure you cite (in text) the sources and also provide a detailed reference list (APA).
f) Design specification: make detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification
g) Describe detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate your product against a design specification

Assessment
Criterion A: investigate
Maximum 6
Investigation is an essential stage in the design cycle. Students are expected to identify the problem, develop a design brief and formulate a design specification. Students are expected to acknowledge the sources of information and document these appropriately.
