| 20 Weeks | GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS - CREATE SYSTEMS DIAGRAM | |||||||
What are systems and how do they relate to technology? Open Loop * Input* Process * Output Closed Loop (all of open plus) * Compare* Adjust * Monitor * Feedback How do open and closed loop systems relate to communication? How does a communication sub-system relate to the communication system? What tools does a graphic designer use to communicate? What are the presentation skills that would effectively communicate to an audience? What safety procedures must be applied when using tools and machines in a laboratory environment? |
* Given a group hands-on graphic systems problem, students will be able to: * Apply the open & closed loop model to their communication system sub-system * Brainstorm and develop communication system ideas * Identify rules, limitations and constraints and apply/interpret to their design * Identify & describe the major components of a systems diagram * Collect information and/or graphics from the World Wide Web * Plan and assemble a diagram of their chosen system, sub-system * Compose an oral report that describes how the diagram operates |
Students will create a systems diagram that reflects a communication system model. Students will be assessed on how well they meet the parameters of the projects. Rubric-Based Assessment will consist of the following: * Home-Work assignments* Written examination * Completion/quality of their system/sub-system diagram. * Adherence to design parameters and composition |
* Teacher generated information packet with vocabulary. * Computers with appropriate software * Selected graphic tools and supplies * World Wide Web * Digital cameras/Printer * Video/DVD’s * Exemplar system designs |

How have technological advances had an impact on the AAV industry? What are the areas of AAV media? What are the technical elements involved in video production? * Equipment* Jobs/skills (crew) What role do the seven resources of technology play in the AAV field? What are the major processes in the AAV industry? How is a multimedia production produced from the initial concept to the finished product? How do AAV job descriptions and skills change with the evolution of technological advances? |
