IA Part Two Homework

1. How can my learning serve my community?

My learning can serve my community. When I teach someone what I have learned this will impact them positively. My knowledge on the Design Cycle was helpful to the 7th graders. They did not know what the Design Cycle was and I showed them what it was. This helped them know more. This was a positive impact that I made and it served my community.

2. How can your future projects become better?

My future projects can become better if I manage my time more efficiently. Managing my time more will give me enough time to add details to my project. This will also help me finish my project in time and will prevent me from being in a rush. My future projects could also become better if I put more creativity in them. This will help my project be more interesting. In this project I was not very creative.    

3. What have you learned about yourself and what you will continue to do or not do and why?

I have learned that when I create a plan that manages my time I can follow it. I will continue to create plans to manage my time. Managing my time will make me waste less time and finish on time. I will start to take every step of my projects seriously. This means doing all the work correctly in every step. 

4. How do you feel about your final product? What would you rate yourself on the Rubric scale of 1-6 for each part of the Assessment Criterion?

I feel proud in my final product but I believe that I can do better. I give myself a a 4 for my investigation because I did not investigate on good sources I could use to do my product. I give myself a 5 for plan because I planned my time and my product. I give myself a 2 for design because I did not do three designs I just started on my product. I give myself a 5 for create because I was on task while doing my product. I give my self a 5 for evaluate because the 7th graders got a 100 for my survey.  I give myself a 6 for attitudes in technology because I helped people, I was on task, and because I tried my best on my project.  

5. What would you do differently in regards to your planning and execution of your plan?

I will plan all my work. I will plan my time so that I can do my work in time and right. During my execution I will work efficiently and try to avoid distractions. By doing this I will do my work faster and more correctly. I will also avoid to do things at the last minute by doing this. I will follow my plan so that during the execution of my plan I will do good. During the execution of my plan I will ask questions when I am confused.

Results

Today 3 7th graders came into the classroom to learn about the Design Cycle. We could not get 6th graders. The 7th graders said that they did not know what the Design Cycle was. I started to show my presentation to the 7th grader and then i had him answer the questions. He answered all the questions correctly. After some time Addie said that there was a big variable that could affect the results. Since there was only 3 7th graders after the second person they went to be teach they already knew what the Design Cycle was.
I give myself a 5 on my attitudes in technology

Reflection

I am doing good so far. I am done with my product and my survey. I just need to teach the 6th graders. I am doing good at managing my time. I think my product is good because it has basic information. I think I applied my Design Brief because my product is simple, clear, and to the point. I did not add audio or pictures but I think this is okay because it just makes my presentation less distracting and more to the point.

I give myself a 6 on my attitudes in technology because even though today was a disorganized day since the 6th graders were not here and we had to share the 7th graders. I still kept my cool and got the 7th graders to take my quiz.

6th Grade Survey

MYP Design Cycle 6th Graders Survey

1. How many steps are in the MYP Design Cycle? 4
2. In what step do you plan a solution/product?  plan
3. What is the second step of the Design Cycle? investigate
4. In what step do you evaluate the problem/solution?evaluate
5. What is the third step of the Design Cycle? create

I am planning to show the 6th graders the slide rocket presentation that I have made and then giving them this survey. The 6th graders would have learned what the Design Cycle is if they answer at least 4 out of 5 questions correctly.    

Where I am at

Right now I am checking on my product. I am putting the final effects. I plan to get started on the survey I will be giving to the 6th graders.

Design

http://portal.sliderocket.com/BAEPJ/Copy-of-DESIGN-CYCLE
I have finished my product. I used sliderocket. The product came out like a power point. I added the information that was neccesary. I am finished. I did not like this design. I will be adding more things next time to  make it better.
I give myself a 6 on my attitudes in technology because today I helped people and I was on task and I finished my design.

Thesis Statement

Slums have an effect on human populations because they could be the cause of diseases, could create antisocial behavior, and they put people's property at risk.

My progress so far.

Today I was working on my project. I was creating my slide show. I am done typing all the information I want to have on my lesson. I was working on getting my slide show ready for the special effects to be added. Next time I come I will be working on adding the special effects.
