**Investigate: Write in complete sentences.** The MYP Rubric is in orange , and your questions are in blue . Did you describe the requirements and how you will be graded? 5/6 - I described all of the details of project requirements and how the project will be evaluated or graded. 3/4 - I described most of the details of project requirements and how the project will be evaluated or graded. 1/2 - I listed some specifications. 0 - I did not describe the requirements or explain how I will be graded. What are the requirements for this assignment? We need to use STYKZ to make an animation about us, highlighting a talent or strength that I have. In the animation there needs to be a super hero stick figure that represents me, and animation needs to be 15 sec. long, 20 fps. I use the Design Cycle to do the assignment. After I'm finished, I put it on my wikispace. Also, I put all this information on my wikispace and answer the questions. Do you understand how you will be graded? I will be given an MYP grade for Investigate and Attitude, and I will also have an academic grade on the project. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">What MYP grade do you deserve for this section? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">I deserve a 5 or 6 because I described the project and how it will be graded.
 * - Take the test on [|Skyward] **

<span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Did you investigate the problem, evaluate the information and make sure the information was from appropiate sources? <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">5/6 - I investigated the problem, evaluated information from a variety of appropriate, recognized sources. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">3/4 - I investigated the problem, selected and analyzed information from some acknowledged sources. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">1/2 - I investigated the problem, and collected information from sources. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">0 - I did not investigate the problem or collect information. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">There are two problems you need to solve, what are they? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">1. How can I be a superhero? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">2. Use STYKZ to create an animation that shows how I can be a superhero. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Spend 15 minutes exploring and learning about STYKZ. List three things you learned: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">1. STYKZ is compatible with Pivot (which I've used before). <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">2. I learned how to make a walking animation. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">3. You can change the node size on the figures. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">List at least three talents and/or strengths you have: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">1. Math <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">2. Programming <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">3. Running

<span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Do you understand the problem and its importance to your life? <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">5/6 - I completely explained the problem, and considered its importance to my life. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">3/4 - I mostly described the problem, and considered its importance to my life. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">1/2 - I only stated the problem. <span style="color: #ff5d00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">0 - I did not state the problem or consider its importance to my life. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Do you ever use or see animation in your life? Explain. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">I see animation all the time; every movie or TV show that's not live action uses some form of animation. Comics are another kind of animation, even though they are more like a slide show. Also, scientists use computer animation to research and think about things (such as the structure of a cell) and engineers probably use animation to design products. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Explain how animation can be positive and negative. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Animation can be positive because it can entertain us, tell a story or explain something. Depending on what it is used for, it can also be negative because it can distract us or make us unproductive, and it can also be used to say/show bad things. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">How does knowing what your strengths and talents are help you in your life? <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">It helps me because if I know my strengths and talents, I know what kind of goals to set and what kind of things I could do in college or for a job. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Do you think you can help people with the strengths and talents you have? Explain why or why not. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">I think I can; if I become a programmer I can help people a lot. Math also helps with programming (and I could even be a math teacher maybe). <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">How can you be a super hero? (Write a paragraph!) <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">If I were a programmer I could be a super hero by creating things that are useful or fun for people. There are lots of opportunities to be a programmer and there are tons of things I could work on, like video games or other programs. I could also be a professor, of computer science or math or something.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">PLAN: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">- What are your ideas for your animation?
