What is it not? (What are typical miscues/confusions
that arise with this concept?)
Systems: What are the important parts? (Are there
parts to those parts?)
. . .and how does this part fit
into an even bigger picture?
Relationships: Is there a relationship
that matters? Cause/Effect; If/Then; First, Next,
Last; etc.
Perspectives: What perspectives do I
need to look at? (Who are the stakeholders?)
Directions for DSRP (200 points) extra credit:
Due on or before June 2th
1. Choose a topic that you’ve learned about recently in any class at school (or in some
other
educational setting: a museum, a documentary film screening, a language or cultural
school, etc.).
2. Complete the following:
a. Fill out the DSRP template on the reverse side completely. (See me for help, if need
be.)
b. Using Power Point, neatly and clearly recreate your work using the DSRP Template
provided.
3. Be sure that the main concept that you’re explaining appears in the center star - large
and bright enough for readers to see.
4. You are encouraged to get help from parents, teachers, siblings or friends (by asking
questions about the topic that you choose).
*Alternate assignment: For budding film makers, complete steps 1 and 2a above, but
instead of a Power Point, make a video (along w/ a partner if you wish) explaining your
concept using DSRP. You may borrow the “Think Blocks” to assist you in the DSRP
explanation for the video, if you wish.
Send an email to Mrs. Stivers at sstivers@smmusd.org for a copy of this Power Point so that
you may use it to create your own DSRP Diagram. Be aware: Incomplete diagrams will not
receive credit.
