 * 1. Take the test on [|Skyward] **

The Design Cycle applies to the real world because we can use it to solve many different types of problems, and overall we just use it for most of the things in our lives. I think and act in a way that I think will pay off in the future, and will help me achieve my goals. I try to do the rights thing so that I can advance in the world and achieve my goals. It is important to look after yourself and others because if you don;t look after yourself, then you won't be able to achieve your goals or get where you want to in life. If you don't look after yourself then bad things could happen to you, and you won't be in control of your life. If you don't look after others then their goals most likely won't be fulfilled. You have to think about more than yourself and be caring, which means looking after other people so that they can get where they want to in life. The Middle Years Program at Midvale Middle School is what the IB program is called. It helps you learn in a better way and achieve your goals. The MYP learner profile is an area that you are supposed to focus on that day, for example, thinkers means that you have to think about things more deeply that day. Overall, it is just an area of thinking in which you will try harder that day. The Areas of Interaction are different areas in which you are learning. For example, Community and Service means that you will focus on helping your community and doing services for it. Overall, it is just what you will be focusing on. MYP can help me by helping learn in a better way and helping me learn how to learn and learn how to solve problems. It can also help me achieve my goals. MYP can help my community because it can help the people in it learn how to solve their problems in better way, and it can make things easier for the people in my community. I can change the life of one other person for the better by trying to make them make the correct choices and by caring about them and what choices they are making in their lives. I can try to help them achieve their goals. This in turn will most likely make their life better. The requirements are that you have to make a comic book about the Middle Years Program at Midvale Middle School. The comic must include 25-30 pictures and you must use the Design Cycle to complete the assignment. When you are finished you must print it and post it to your Wikispace. You are also supposed to answer the questions on the Wikispace and put all your pictures in a folder.
