The unit moves through the four MYP design criteria in order, with each criterion assessed by its own summative task. The lesson sequence shown on this page is a suggestion, not a hard requirement — adjust pacing to fit the class. Phase details will be completed when the G9 unit documents are available.
| Phase | Focus | Suggested Classes |
|---|---|---|
| Skills Training | Materials, fabrication & toy-safety basics | TBD |
| Criterion A — Inquiring & Analysing | Research task | TBD |
| Criterion B — Developing Ideas | Planning: success criteria, inspiration, rough drafts, specifications | TBD |
| Criterion C — Creating the Solution | Fabricating the toy, daily documentation, final deliverables | TBD |
| Criterion D — Evaluating | Testing, feedback, success criteria review, improvements | TBD |
| Final Revisions | Incorporate feedback and complete the design cycle | TBD |
Unit OverviewStudents follow the complete design cycle to design and produce a physical toy for a specified age group: researching users and existing products, planning with success criteria and specifications, fabricating and documenting the prototype, and evaluating the result with user testing and feedback.
