<span style="color: #e7ac36; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">You will receive an academic grade and an MYP grades for this assignment.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Investigate:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Completely explain the problem and its relevance to your life. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a game that would help me study for a subject in school. It must have 20 questions. Creating ways how to study for a subject is how it is relevant to my life.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Uen is a good source because it has information about what you need to learn in school so you can use those ideas to create your questions. Atmosphir or Powergame is a good source because it is where you can create the videogame.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Use the design cycle. Pay attention to make sure you meet the requiremetns.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Design:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a range of possible designs, and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">I was offered to make a board game rather than a video game for this assignment. I also considered Atmosphir. Powergame is also a good place to create video games.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Choose the best design and evaluate it fully against the design specifications (requirements). <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">I will choose Powergame. I did try a day on Atmosphir but I did not like it as much as I like Powergame. Also, I am more familiar with Powergame so I know how to add the questions.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Plan:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create levels, write questions, add questions, test, adjust as nessasary

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate the plan and justify any changes to your design.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Skillfully use appropriate techniques and equipment.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Follow your plan, justify changes in the plan, and create an appropriate product using your resources and time.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate your product based on the design specifications, results of testing, and feedback from self and others.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Evaluate your performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggest improvements. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">On the ivestigate I think I did good but I should have gone deeper and answered the questions better; on design I think I think I did a good job at knowing what to do; on plan I think I could have planned it better; I think I did good at creating the product because I finished all the requirements and I even had left over time after that to improve my product; on evaluate I think I could have evaluated better becasue it seems like I didn't answer the things right and I wasn't good at evaluating.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Completely explain how sticking to a task impacts your life and environment. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Sticking to a task can make your life less stressful because you will finish it earlier and it will turn out better because you did not procrastinate. Also, it makes the enviorment more postive because you are not putting out a negative vibe.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Attitude:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">You were consistently motivated and respectful. (and not a whiny baby!) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">I was constantly movitvated and respectful and I didn't whine.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Unit Question: <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">How can my learning help my community?
