Term 1

My name is Karim. I am a student of - wait... did you really think you could get my school name, seek me out, and destroy me? Tough. I'm not that gullible. You don't even know my surname or my age. This blog will be my process journal to record all the tasks that will be completed during this year. Enjoy!



The MYP Design Cycle consists of 4 stages:
Criteria A - Inquiry and Analysing
Criteria B - Developing Ideas
Criteria C - Creating the Solution
Criteria D - Evaluating the Solution

The criteria (at their most basic) are:
Criteria A: Googling stuff so that you can get inspiration for a new idea
Criteria B: Coming up with an idea based on the stuff you googled
Criteria C: Putting the idea together, only for something to go wrong
Criteria D: Evaluating what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again
It's a perpetual cycle: Get an idea, make the idea, take a spoon, evaluate
Here is my first Tinkercad design: A sea turtle nest
Remember the criteria? You should. as they're just above the turtles. Now, I will go in depth about the criteria, and explain the functionality of each one in a real life situation.
Criteria A: Students are getting bad grades because they are making spelling and grammar 3errors that obscure the context of their paper. Bland and repetitive word choices are making papers duller by the day. Team Grammarly see this as a problem they hope to solve.
Criteria B: The heroes in our story, Team Grammarly, go to experts of the English language, who give them the ins and outs of every last rule of the language. They now have the information required to create Grammarly.
Criteria C: The developers of Grammarly program her to locate spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. They program her to suggest solutions to the errors and give more interesting and viable word choices according to the context of the paper.
Criteria D: Grammarly is out! But nobody knows about her and her existence is obscure. Now here is where Team Grammarly's plan falls apart. The team goes back to the drawing board and starts designing an advertising campaign for Grammarly, and the cycle repeats.
