Year 8 –Worcester Floods 2007

Big Picture: Why did Worcester Flood in 2007?

What: Research the impacts of flooding during the Worcester FloodsHow: By carrying out independent researchWhy: So I design an iphone app to inform the public of future hazards

Success Criteria: To meet the design the requirements for your app you must…

Criteria Have you done this?

Yes or NoYou have given basic details about the flood. E.g. the name of the river that flooded, when it happened, why it happened.You have included labelled a map of Worcester to show where the flood occurred.

You have shown the different physical (environmental) impacts of the flood in the local area and included at least one photograph.

You have shown the different human (social and economic) impacts of the flood in the local area and included at least one photograph.

Your app needs a relevant symbol.

*Tip: Remember this is an app for Worcester Floods so it may be a good idea to relate these themes.

I have added my own creative idea to support my app. This can be anything you like! It could be a slogan, a flood watch system- whatever you like! Be as imaginative as possible!

Acting as a graphics designer you are going to create an

iphone app to give information about the Worcester Flood in

2007.

You can present your app using your own choice of software package. You could create an information poster, a leaflet on publisher or a use powerpoint to present how your Worcester Flooding App will work.
