~ # of classes: 20
Combine layers of imagery to help your community to better understand a topic or issue. Click on the icons in each section to complete the tasks outlined below.
As we begin this unit, let's look at a way of charting our progress that might be useful to plan your time. Copy the Gantt chart from the 'Resources' and look through the stages (strands) that you would have to complete from this unit in order to achieve the outcome
In this project, your target audience is the UNIS MYP Community. You have one of three areas to focus on. Use the template provided on Seesaw to detail your selection.
Now that you know what problem you would like to solve, it's time to think about research. Here are some examples of questions you might want to consider in your inquiry and how they can be prioritized and categorized into primary and secondary research.
Look at existing solutions that you think will engage your target market. Here are some searches to help:
Add an image at the top of the template provided and conduct a SWOT analysis. For the opportunities, consider how you could apply this idea within the context of UNIS. For example...
Summarize what you have learned in your research. We have learned...
Consider this research and decide what topic you would like to focus on and why.
Now that you have completed your research, let's make sure you are on the right track to create a successful product or solution.
Concept sketching is an integral part of the design process when making a video. Based on your design specifications and the opportunities you identified during your SWOT analysis of existing products, begin to sketch out at least 2 different ideas and share them with peers.
One method to test whether or not the images you are using work well for your topic is to imagine if they had no text layers associated with them. Would they still tell the right story?
Share your concept sketches with your peers and play musical chairs gallery walk to determine how effectively others think that these posters meet the design specifications you have developed.
Also show your client and get feedback from all. This feedback will be the basis of choosing and developing your idea.
Now that you have chosen your final poster idea, develop it further with the feedback received by both your peers and your client by adding more detail.
Now that you have completed your design, reflect on your progress with this self assessment.

Present your final design and document whether or not you met your key dates or had to change your plans. This can also be a link to your final product or solution.
During the design cycle, it is rare that everything goes to plan. Measurements need to be adjusted, unforeseen events interfere with key dates.
Document any challenges that you encountered while making your product or solution and describe what changes you made to your design and plan as a result.
Challenges: I found the tutorials difficult to get through and the product was not complete in time for my due date. I really needed to focus more in class
Justification for any changes made to your design and plan: My plan had to be adjusted by pushing back my key date by 1 day since I had to use academic prep time to finish sanding my product. My design changed a little bit because I didn't have time to paint my product.
Now that you have completed your product or solution, help out a peer in reviewing their work. Use the template provided to give them constructive feedback.
Complete the questions below using the template provided:
Go back to the design specifications that you created in B1. Look at the testing methods that you considered using to test if those specifications would be successful. Design and carry out those methods.
Typical testing methods include:
Go back to the design specifications that you created in B1. Paste these specifications into the first column in the template provided. Based on the tests you conducted in D1, paste in the link to the results of this testing in the Testing Results column. Evaluate the success of the testing. Were your design specifications met?
