• Informal meet up at Lowes tomorrow morning??? 

HOMEWORK 

• All materials need to be ordered/in your possession by Tuesday November 28 so we can start building your prototypes!
• This WILL BE A TEST GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11/17

TOPICS

• 10.1 -- Just in Time and Just in Case
• 10.2 -- Lean Production 

ESSENTIAL IDEAS

•  Just in time and just in case are opposing production strategies utilized by the manufacturers
• Lean production aims to eliminate waste and maximize the value of a product based on the perspective of a consumer  

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Advantages and Disadvantages 

•  
• LEAN PRODUCTION
•  
• Value Stream Mapping
• Product family (different from marketing product family so go ahead and fix that...)

• The 5 Ss

HOMEWORK

• All materials need to be ordered/in your possession by Tuesday November 28 so we can start building your prototypes!

11/15

KEY CONCEPTS

OBJECTIVES   

• Gain a basic understanding of Topic 10 -- Commercial production.

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Take a look at this image.
• In your notebook define, explain, list advantages/disadvantages (you know, whatever the guide says you need to know in both the CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES and GUIDANCE) for Topics 10.1 and 10.2
• 10.1
• 10.2 
• Use the following resources to help with this:    
• Topic10Commercialproduction.pdf
• I will check this for a grade FRIDAY!!!
• You are IB kids -- you have a lot going on...keep busy for the remainder of the block please! 

11/13

KEY CONCEPTS

• N/A

OBJECTIVES   

• Analyze the differences between IB DT Command Terms
• Complete an IB practice Paper 2 question set 

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Working with a partner construct a perfect answer to a Paper 2 set of questions
• Then let's exchange them with another group and grade them according to an IB rubric making sure to give GOOD FEEDBACK! 
• Time to vote on what to do next -- it's like a terrible CYOA book... 
•  

HOMEWORK

• All materials need to be ordered/in your possession by Tuesday November 28 so we can start building your prototypes!

11/9

KEY CONCEPTS

• N/A

OBJECTIVES   

• Analyze the differences between IB DT Command Terms 

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Command term quiz (it's really easy!)
• Applying the command terms
• Working with a partner we will move around the room to each station and answer a questions.  The length and complexity of your response will depend on the COMMAND TERM!
• Everyone needs to keep time -- use the stopwatch on your phone -- to see how long it takes you to answer the question.  the point of this is not to answer it first (looking at you Patrick, Will, Robert) but just to see how long it takes.
• Only one person in each group needs to write  

HOMEWORK

• Read this article and be ready to discuss!

11/7

KEY CONCEPTS

OBJECTIVES   

• Analyze the differences between IB DT Command Terms 

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Hand in your PART C!!!!
• Let's talk about the May 2017 Subject Report
• It just came out so we can go over some parts of it together. 
• Let's divide it up into small groups and create a bullet list of take aways for the IA -- everyone needs to write these down somewhere!!!!!!!!!  PAGES 2-6
• A = Hal, Bess, and Avery
• B = Will and Marco
• C = Patrick and Robert
• D = Jay, Elizabeth
• E = Ashlyn and Lane
• F =  Aarin and Jason
• Time to talk about the EXAM!  Less than 200 days away!!
• Here is the basic layout
• Paper 1 = 40 multiple choice questions (1 hour & 40 marks)
• Paper 2 =  Short Answer (1.5 Hours and 50 marks)
• Part A -- Answer all parts 
• 1 set of questions based on a data set
• Several short-answer on core material 
• Part B -- Answer one (out of three choices)
• extended response on the core material
• Paper 3 = Short / extended responses 
• Part A -- answer all parts
• on the HL extension material
• Part B -- answer all parts
• one structured response on the HL extension stuff based on a CASE STUDY!
• Fun fact -- you can use a:

• Next, we need to discuss the COMMAND TERMS!
• In order to do well on this test you need to know how to answer the questions.  Today we start this process and we will continue it next class.
• Take a look at page  127 for a list of the command terms
• Next, look at this document that Codega made yesterday (should be helpful!) 

HOMEWORK

• COMMAND TERMS QUIZ NEXT CLASS! 
• All materials for the IA need to be ordered and (hopefully) in by 11/27.

11/1

KEY CONCEPTS

OBJECTIVES   

•  Show tangible progress on Part C 

CLASS ACTIVITIES

• Part C is now due on Tuesday 11/7
• It is pretty obvious that Autodesk isn't going to be installed anytime soon on the school laptops, therefore, you need to have a backup plan.  I will accept tinkercad for 3D printed projects (except you Bess and Ashlyn + anyone else who has a personal laptop/is doing it at home).   Everyone else needs to create FORMAL DRAWINGS! 
• Approach C like it could be given to anyone and they could make your prototype.  NO DETAIL IS TOO SMALL!!!
