 * 1. Take the test on [|Skyward] **

** Investigate: ** ** 2. How does the Design Cycle apply to the real world? ** ** Answer the Design Brief questions below: ** ** 3. How do I think and act? ** ** 4. Why is it important to look after myself and others? ** ** 5. What is the Middle Years Program (MYP) at Midvale Middle School? ** ** 6. What is the MYP Learner Profile? ** ** 7.

What are the requirements for this assignment? **
 * The Design Cycle helps us everyday. The Design Cycle helps students with assignments to doctors with surgery to perform. Also, therapists need to plan a solution for their patients to deal with their problems. **
 * I think very thoroughly through everything I do, and act through the kindness of my heart. **
 * It very important to look after myself because my actions could influence others as well. **
 * The Middle years Program at Midvale Middle School is an effective pre-IB program that prepares students for their future in college. This program is applicable to all students in middle school. **
 * The MYP Learner Profile is the TOP BRRICCK pyramid that we use everyday during class in help us get our work done. **
 * The Areas of Interaction are: Community and Service, Health and Social Education, Human Ingenuity, Environmental Change, and Approaches to Learning. **
 * The MYP will help me to prepare for the rigorous IB Program in High School and prepare me for my near future in college. **
 * The MYP can help my community because by my education through the MYP Program, I can teach and assist others with school work and other daily necessities. **
 * I can do this by using my education to instruct them on life skills as well as school work because they may be less fortunate than I, and not have been able to participate in the valuable and greatly honored MYP Program. **
 * The requirements for this assignment are for us to create a comic life strip that contains significant information about the MYP Program here at Midvale. **

** Plan: ** ** 12. Brainstorm ideas - get the chart from me. ** ** 13. Select one of your ideas form your brainstorming chart and justify (explain) your choice: ** ** 14. Does your idea meet all of the requirements in the Design Brief? ** ** 15. Does your idea answer all the questions in the Design Brief? ** ** 16. Use the story board paper to plan your comic life. Get your story board from me! ** ** 17. Explain how you will use your time to get your project finished in 6 days: **
 * We finished the brainstorming chart. **
 * Like always, we just fell in love with two of our ideas and decided to combine them together. **
 * HECK YES!!!! **
 * HECK YES!!!! **
 * We finished the story board. **


 * ** Day 1: ** ** Don't forget you need to finish the Investigate and Plan steps. **
 * **Day 2**: **WORK!!**
 * ** Day 3: ** ** WORK!!! **
 * ** Day 4: ** ** WORK!!!! **
 * ** Day 5: ** ** WORK!!!!! **
 * ** Day 6: ** ** Don't forget you need to print your comic and post it on your Comic Life Design Folder page. **


 * Create: **
 * ** Use APPROPRIATE software and pictures to create your Comic Life. (and be nice to my computer!) **
 * ** Follow the steps of the plan you made in question #17. **
 * **Follow your storyboard.**
 * ** Pay attention to the quality of your presentation! **

My knowledge can help others because later when I have an occupation, I can assist in teaching young kids and aiding the elderly.
 * Evaluate: **
 * 18. If you made any changes to your plan or story board, explain why you changed it: **
 * ** Why did you change your plan? **
 * We didn't make any changes to our plan because of the high quality it already was. **
 * ** Why did you change your story board? **
 * We however, did make changes to our story board because we felt it didn't include as much information about the MYP program as it should have. We may have left out significant information that is essential for people to know about. Otherwise, we just added more slides to it rather than removing some. **
 * 19. How could you improve your comic? **
 * I think we could improve our comic by perhaps including more content than graphics. Also, I (Simran :D) feel that we didn't specify the details of the program and what it can do in the future, so we could go back and improve on that. ﻿ **
 * 20. Does your comic meet all the requirements? **
 * Indeed, our comic, meets all the requirements because it is completely informative. **
 * 21. Share your comic with at least one friend. What did he/she like about your comic? **
 * We shared our comic with Zoe and Keegan. Both of them liked it and thought it was amazing with all the information and awesome superhero(Harry Potter). **
 * 22. Reflect on all the steps of the Design Cycle. What did you do well? What do you need to improve? **
 * ** Investigate: ** ** Investigating was quite simple for us and didn't take ample time. Because of the knowledge we already had with MYP and comic life as well, we didn't have to research that much. We did two things. 1. Observed the top brricckk pyramid as well as the areas of interaction. 2. We looked at Midvale's website to find out information. We did well on using our resources, but I think we could have improved on perhaps asking our teachers about the program. **
 * **Plan:** **For planning, we obviously completed the brainstorming chart and storyboard. We also started to think of ways to make our project unique, yet informative. For Comic Life, we did a practice slide. We did well on incorporating our ideas into one, but we could have improved on following the plan a little better.**
 * ** Create: ** ** Creating was definitely our favorite part. We did well on utilizing all the aspects of the program. I think we could have improved on making our slides a bit more creative rather than just having gradient fills. We should have tilted the words and made them awesomely 3D looking. **
 * ** Evaluate: ** ** Evaluating was probably the easiest part because we just had to reflect on our behavior. We did well on estimating a gamut of how good we were. **
 * 23. Were you responsible in using the software, Internet, pictures, and computer? **
 * We were very responsible with all those things as well as the SBO camera that we used. **
 * 24. How can I use my knowledge to help others? **


 * 25. What grade do you deserve on this project? (1 - 6) **
 * A 5 or 6 because it was a well organized, planned and creative project. **


 * Attitude **
 * 26. Reflect on your attitude on each step of the Design Cycle. Did you completely answer each step without complaining, being a whiny baby, or saying "it's too hard". **
 * We ( Mostly Simran :D who is typing this whole thing up!...which I enjoy) enjoyed this project because of the following reasons: **
 * 1) ** Pictures of ourselves! **
 * 2) ** Pictures in general! **
 * 3) ** It was fun to explore the program. **
 * 4) ** MS. BRADFIELD WAS SO HELPFUL. **
 * 27. What grade do you deserve on your attitude? (1 - 6) **
 * Definitely a 6. We were on perfect behavior and we enjoyed this project so there was no reason for us to a whiny baby. And plus, even if we did whine, we would be whiny teenagers, which we weren't. **
