Lesson notes

Indicator: B9.1.2.1.3 - Design the solution selected

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Translate their proposed solution from Week 7 into a detailed design document that shows the main parts, inputs, outputs, and steps of the solution.
Draw a labelled diagram or flowchart of the designed technological solution showing how each part connects to the others.
Present the designed solution clearly to the class, explaining the problem it solves, how it works, and why it was chosen.
Give constructive feedback on designs presented by peers, using specific and helpful comments rather than general praise or criticism.
Revise their design based on feedback received, documenting at least one improvement they will make.

Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

sub strand name - printed 'INTHE' with no space. The JHS document never prints the spaced form, but NaCCA's own primary Computing curriculum names the same sub-strand 'TECHNOLOGY IN THE COMMUNITY' (b4/b5/b6-computing.csv). sub_strand_name becomes the lesson topic a teacher sees, so the missing space is closed.
