Unit 1: Assessment Elements and marks

Hi everybody! This post is intended to remind you the different items we have to calculate our final mark for the unit. We have 6 different elements:

• Class Activities (15%): your practical activities in pairs during the sessions in the classroom: the mystery bag and the string telephone.
• Workshop Activities (10%): the practical activity you did in the Workshop in pairs (3 sessions): Straw Bridges.
• ICT Activities (15%): the same activities you have in your workbook (virtual classroom) plus the on-line activities in our general website. You did these activities (in pairs) in 5 sessions in the Computer Room.
• Workbook Activities (10%): exercises in the Workbook to do in class and at home.
• Exam (50%): the exam you did individually (?) in the classroom.
• Extra (10%): Different ways of getting extra points: in the activities (class, workshop, ICT, workbook) and at home: The Parachute and the revision at Quizizz.

So I am going to give you a strip of paper with your marks. Your final mark for this unit is not your mark for the evaluation as we have to finish unit 2. Both units count the same (50%). I see you in class.

Unit 2 (Graphic Communication): Class and ICT activities

Hi everybody! We have just finished the first classroom activity (The Tangram Project 1/2) which was a kind of warm-up activity. If you feel like reviewing this activity click here and here.

Next week we will be doing ICT Activities in the computer room and completing the activities in the workbook. And we wiil spend another two sessions doing the second classroom activity. You need the same materials (pieces of cardboard, drawing tools, ...) in this activity in which you will learn how to draw the views of an object.

You have the possibility of getting use to it by doing these activities. So, let's get started.

Unit 1 (Technology and Design): Workshop Activities and Exam

Hi everybody! We are finishing this first unit: the project in the workshop, the debrief session and the exam (next week):

• Straw Bridges, in the work shop.

• The debrief session, to talk about what we learnt in this unit and the way we can improve for next units. Along with this chat we will do a review activity using our portable devices and this website.

•  Exam. The best way for you to prepare for the exam is redoing all the activities we have completed. For that, go to our General Website on Weebly.

See you in class.
