Year 11, welcome back.  Hope you had an awesome break.

The woman in the photo above hired someone on the basis of a video link that she included when applying for a job.  Read about it here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/remarkable-hiring-stories.html  . Thinking outside the box can really help you stand out in a positive way.

Your re-worked Investigations are due on Friday.  Please, PLEase, PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity to make corrections and raise your Investigate grade.  You can come in to work on your project during break and lunch this week.

You should now be working on the Create - Criterion D.

According to the IBO: 

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.  This means that you must have a process journal and that it is a necessary component of this criterion.

To get a 5/6:

The student competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment.

The student follows the plan and justifies any modifications made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

Please leave a comment on this post to acknowledge that you understand your assignment and an appropriate design specification.

Learning Objective:  The student will: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; follow the plan to produce the product/soltuion; evaluate the plan and justify any changes to the plan (when necessary); and create a product/solution of appropriate quality.
