Let's take 10 minutes to complete the Plan.  Write 1 paragraph stating why your plan will work.  Remember that you have done a Prezi tutorial, have practiced with Prezi, and had Prezi open when you were writing your plan.

Now, on to the CREATE - Criterion D (Maximum 6)

Now, use your plan to create your prezi.

3Tasks
1. Follow your plan,
2. Create your prezi,
3. Write a paragraph to say if your plan worked and write about any changes you made to your design.

Learning Objectives for Create: The student will: use appropriate techniques and equipment competently; follow the plan to produce the product/solution with minimal guidance; review the plan and explain any changes to the plan (when necessary); create a product/solution of appropriate quality.

Year 8, it's on to the Design, Criterion B.  Due Friday, February 10

We have 2 tasks this week:
1.  Create 2 designs for your Prezi
2.  Choose 1 design and write a paragraph to justify your choice.

We will create 2 designs on blank paper. We have 2 lessons this week so you have enough time to finish and do a really good job.

A complete design must contain: image, youtube video, rotated text, drawing, clear path, 1 shape, custom colour, custom font colour.  You may have Prezi open to help you make decisions about colours, shapes, drawings, etc.

Let's look at this example: http://prezi.com/shszyp_nvxxr/tech-lunch/

For help you can consult the Prezi Cheat Sheet: http://prezi.com/learn/get-started-cheat-sheet/

Please leave a comment on this post to acknowledge that you understand your assignment and an appropriate design specification. If you don't understand the assignment, please raise your hand so I can help you. Thanks so much for that;-)

Learning objectives - The student will: generate 2 designs that attempt to meet the design specification;, compare the designs against the design specifications and identify the pros and cons of each design; select one design and explain its choice.

Year 8 - it's time to explore Prezi.  You will have to open an account with Prezi (prezi.com) .  I suggest you do that first.

Then do the tutorial to get a feel for what Prezi can do.
