Design Process Flowchart

LI: to learn the design process

For Inquiry this term we were learning about Design. We learned about a bunch of different vocabulary about Design, like client, production, development and such. This term we had to make holiday decorations for a Christmas tree for our school. These holiday decorations could be Christmas, Hanukkah and more. But we first had to learn the process of designing these holiday decorations. So we learned, listen and took notes of the design process from Mrs Ferguson from Tamaki College. Our task was to make a flow chart of the Design Process which is kind of like a loop. 

Explanation (Transitional Vocab)

LI: to use transitional vocab

This week we have been revising explanation writing. Next week is our assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations. When writing our explanations we focused on transitional vocab and TEEL, which is the structure of a paragraph. T for Topic Sentence, E for Example/Explain, another E for Evidence, and L for Link. The topic sentence is the introduction sentence of the topic, explain/example is explaining the topic, evidence is the statistics and numbers about the topic, and link is the sentence that links the end of the paragraph to the first sentence of the next paragraph.
