EMERGENCY SHELTER

UNIT

(MYP1 Crit)

Key concept: Development

Related concept(s): Collaboration and invention

Global context: Scientific and technical innovation

Statement of inquiry:

Through collaboration, we can develop and invent models to benefit society.

AtL Statement:

In order for students to complete Criterion Bii (present a range of feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others); they must consider multiple alternatives, including those that may be unlikely or impossible by using sketching techniques; such as, using a sharp 2H pencil to create construction lines and then outlines which are parallel to each other both vertically and horizontally on A4 paper. And, on the second piece of A4 paper draw isometric boxes and render them correctly using light directions for each. Finally, they will create at least four initial design ideas for their emergency shelter using the techniques practiced above.

Product Design – Emergency Shelter: students will develop a PORTABLE shelter which can be used in countries which have experienced natural disasters.

IMPORTANT:

•Create a Google Doc (with editing rights) and share it with your teacher. Please format your folio using: File, Page Set Up then A4. All margins: Top, Bottom Left and Right should be set at 1

• Size 12 text (headings and subheadings can be slightly larger)

• Ariel style of text (excluding Works Cited)

• 1.5 spacing (excluding text inside Tables)

• Prepare a front cover which includes your full name, class, teacher's name, Unit title, Key Concept, Related Concept(s), Global Context, Statement of Inquiry and photo(s) related to the Unit

• Prepare an Index and Appendix page for each Crit

• Prepare a cover for each of the 4 stages in the Design Cycle

• Subheadings in each Criterion (A, B, C & D) should be the Strand wording

• Black text

• Include a header and footer

• Use MLA 8 Citations and Easybib (Times New Roman) use hanging indents

• Where you read (REQUIRED) in the instructions for each Strand this is the subheading to be used. DO NOT INCLUDE THE WORD (REQUIRED)

• REMEMBER IT'S QUALITY NOT QUANTITY AND AVOID LEAVING EMPTY BLANK SPACES ON A PAGE

Note: When you are completing your written folio I actively encourage you to include (within your text) hyperlinks to relevant areas on the Internet which link into the area you are studying.

Example: I am gong to design and make a security device for a four bedroom house which has sensors attached to all windows and doors. This device will address the problem of house break-ins within the country.
