MYP Units Bundle which covers each year group for the MYP 1 - 5 Design curriculum, representing a significant saving over buying units individually. In these outstanding, creative units, students are tasked with designing and making solutions in line with specific client-led briefs. With practical, written, and theory work closely related to the new MYP Design Specification and four assessment criteria. These units/projects have been designed for a term (12-14 weeks) or half-term (6-8 weeks) though each can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly. Included is a unit planner that maps each project to units of inquiry (IB), sustainable development goals (UN), ATL skills (IB), and inner development goals (IDGs). Each project covers the entire iterative (non-linear) design process as well as relatable theory. The units are flexible and can be adapted to be taught throughout MY1 to MY5. The recommended MY year group can be found below. Units include: Graphic Design Unit - Personified Typography (various briefs) (MY1). Product Design Unit - Phone Stand Product (MY2 or 3). Architecture Unit - Introduction to Architecture. Worlds’ Leading Architects and Their Creative Processes (MY2 or 3). Product Design Unit - LEDC Solar Light. (MY4 or 5).
