Year 8, please finish your Criterion B designs and the accompanying documentation today and submit it. 

Then, let's move onto Criterion C - PLAN - Maximum 6

In this section: Students are expected to construct a plan to create their chosen product/solution that has a series of logical steps, and that makes effective use of resources and time.

Students are expected to evaluate the plan and justify any modifications to the design.

To get a 5/6:

• The student produces a plan that contains a number of logical steps that include resources and time.
• The student evaluates the plan and attempts to justify any modifications to the design.

3 Tasks
1 - Make a list of the resources we will use.
2 - Make a table with the steps needed to create our digital story - Include the time it will take for each step.
3 - Write a paragraph evaluating the plan (saying why it will work- Remember that you plan will work because:  1) you have lots of practice with Publisher 2010, 2) you had Publisher open when you were creating your plan.;-).

Learning Objectives for Plan:  The student will: devise, with guidance, a series of logical steps to create the product/solution; construct a plan to create the product/solution that makes effective ue of resources and time; analyze the plan and explain the need for any modifications to the plan.
