Planning and Research Criteria

Note – you should all be aiming for level 3 and 4 as highlighted

 

Marking Criteria for the Presentation of the Research and Planning

Research and Planning may be presented in digital format, but can take the form of a folder or scrapbook at this level. Where candidates have worked as a group, this may be presented collectively, but teachers are asked to differentiate the contributions of individuals within the group in arriving at a mark and justifying individual marks on the assessment sheet. Each candidate should give a clear indication of their role in any group research and planning. As part of the moderation sample, the moderator will expect to see full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process in order to support assessment.
