What is this all about?This Final Major Unit will be an

introduction to an in depth design cycle, and a taste of what to expect in Year 10

• The theme of the unit will be creating an online information point for people in the NIST community that will help people with special diets and/or to make other people aware of special diets

•You will be creating meals that meet a restricted diet and an online source.

What will I create?

How will I be assessed?

• You will be assessed using a modified MYP Rubric.

• I will provide as much guidance and support as I can, and will break down the assessment criteria into steps, with a checklist .• It is important that you follow each

step carefully, as anything that you miss will lower your overall level.

Lesson 1

•Discuss restricted diets•Create survey in class •Students to research 4 restricted diets in pairs•Write out problem and brief

Quick research 4 dietsWhat is the diet?What can you not eat or have to eat?

Why do people choose it?

Create a survey and communicate data to back up up your problem, ie in this room there are 5 out 24 students that have a restricted diet, there are 20 out of 24 of you that know someone with a restricted diet!! Make it evidence

Investigate

• The student explains the problem, discussing it’s relevance

• The student investigates the problem, using information from a broad range sources

• The student describes a method for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the specification

Special Diets

•Some reasons to why special diets are followed are:Personal health goalsMedical reasonsEthical reasonsReligious grounds

•Briefly write about 4 different special diets, BRIEF detail: What the diet is What food groups are included and why What reasons do people do this diet The consequences of the diet (e.g. lack of certain nutrients, the effect on the body, availability of specified foods, etc.)

Vegan Fruitarian Athlete Diabetic Organic Religion Elderly Babies and toddlers Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Homework 1Write up an A4 document about your chosen restricted diet. Include detail information about:WHOWHYWHEREWHATHOW

Lesson 2Students get evidence from problem from survey.Students write up problem in more detail referring to the evidence from the survey.

Defining a Problem

•Brainstorming possible problems / situations? themes / subthemes – food……•Who is your target audience?•Research Existing Solutions - Bibliography•Analysis / conclusion of your brainstorm•Choosing•Check that you have explained how it may benefit that target audience

BriefThere are many restricted diets in the

world today. This means there are people who cannot "just eat anything" ... Usually this will involve being "xx-free", as the most common requirement is to avoid a food type. I intend to create an internet based information point to inform teenagers of a restricted diet and offer a suggestion of dishes that can be made.

Follow template to help My chosen restricted diet

Brainstorm problems in book References:

My target audience:

Who are you aiming your blog at?

Why this diet is important:

Problem Write in your problem here (you should have evidence ie survey to be included)

Brief Write out your solution here ( I propose to....)

Homework 1Create at least 6 specifications for

your online info spot and 6 for the two dishes that you will make.

This should be on your One Note

Layout of answering guiding questions List of guiding questions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Write out question Answer question with evidence (eg survey results, interview, print

screen..)  Evaluate results/research Cite source Evaluate source

Homework 3Ensure that Wiki page is set up. Record all of your sources

Lesson 3

Recap on use of sources and MLA formatStudents to research 5 possible recipes and plan for a recipe to create next class. Create test for dish.

Lesson 4Create planned dish. Follow plan and take photos to upload to the portal. Test dish

TESTING TESTING

1 TESTS 3 people:You need to include detail of who will take out the test and how many people.

If it is a survey then you need to have written the questions, created the table etc

SURVEY, INTERVIEW, SPECIFICATION CHECKLIST, READER RESPONSE ON COMMENTS. Make sure you explain in detail

Plan

• The student produces a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describe the use of resources and time.
