Final

Final

Even if you have a B+ for the semester, if you completely bomb the final today, you could fail for the semester. Finals are serious business. Take it seriously, it could make the difference of a letter grade for the semester, and it could make the difference between passing or not!

Your choice:
multiple choice (a through e) scantron test, built from the questions you and your peers submitted.
or
IB MYP Poster Project- rubric available

Multiple Choice Scantron
Hopefully you are prepared. Hopefully you took my advice and spoke with your peers regarding questions that they submitted for the test. If you are taking the test, you should not be using the computer. Turn it off if you decide to take the test. Best of luck!

About the poster: Read everything below

Use the rubric, use the rubric, use the rubric! It will be graded based on the rubric. Use it to make a good score; the right side of the rubric will gain you a good score, those on the left will earn you a poor/failing grade. You will turn in the poster on the flash drive that your instructor has. The file name for your poster must be your first and last name, or you will have a zero.

Challenge: Create a poster to depict a concept of the Middle Years Programme. These posters will be used in 2011-2012 as classroom references. They will be used to facilitate awareness and greater use of terminology related to programme standards. The document handed out (on the reverse side of the rubric) has three different categories, each with multiple concepts. Choose ONE of these concepts to focus on. Don't assume you know what the concept means in IB, do a little research and make sure your poster is accurate!

Criteria: Images and poster must be able to be enlarged to sizes between 16’ x 20” and 18” x 24”. Resolution of 300.
Images must NOT be copyright images.
Images MUST be free stock or public domain,
OR you must have permission by the owner.
Spelling and grammar must be accurate.
Must be easy to read without distracting graphics.
Finished product must be saved in a format allowing for future editing if needed.
Designer’s name may be located in a lower right hand corner.

You have the whole internet at your fingertips (well, almost). You also have very powerful software on these machines. Make use of it, create something impressive :) There are lots of things we have talked about this year, be creative. You're not limited to only whats been directly taught either, you're welcome to do a bit of your own research if you'd like.

If you decide to use free stock photography, you MUST cite the works used on a document turned in with the project. Projects MUST be turned in via flash drive in an editable (.psd, .anh, etc) format. The file name of your poster MUST be your first and last name. Follow the rubric for a good grade.

We are quickly approaching the end. As has already been mentioned, Thursday is my last day. Any work that is due (like your fad photos) needs to be taken care of today. Any past due assignments or grades you would like changed need to be taken care of today as well. If I don't see you again today or tomorrow, have a great summer and see you next year :)

Yearbook

Today, I will have each of you show me what photos you have submitted since spring break, as trying to find them friday and saturday proved very difficult.

The Fad photos need to be turned in by Thursday at the latest. Make sure your photos are of the fad here at school with students exhibiting it. We aren't interested in just catalog photos showing off the merchandise, show who and how the fad is integrated into student life.

You have this class and next to show me anything that needs to be graded for you. Any work that you haven't submitted that you would like something higher than a zero on needs to be turned in before Thursday. Nothing will be accepted after Thursday, as I will be on my way to
Bahrain & Qatar.
