Key advice

  1. Issue the questions as early as possible - why keep them secret?
  2. Keep them visible throughout the project and refer to them frequently
  3. Plan interim lessons to focus students in on what to include - easy to forget over time. Homework tasks during production to focus them in on their decisions and revisions etc. 
  4. Allocate enough TIME to justify the 20% allocation - research and planning is worth the same
  5. Treat each question as an individual task - expect individual approaches
  6. Proposal forms for evaluation ideas - monitor approaches and ICT skills
  7. Mini - deadlines for each question -  avoid requesting for the whole evaluation to be handed in on the same day
  8. Monitor the construction of these tasks as you would do the final product
  9. Group work - evaluations can be completed in groups (with exception to Print). Just make sure that you validate contribution in your teacher comments on the forms. You would expect marks to be differentiated unless a group had displayed complete solidarity throughout - even then I am sure that there has been a difference in contribution/ability. 
  10. Avoid allowing students to simply upload any form of essay to the screen - verbal, written or performed. Filming a presentation and then uploading to Youtube, copying and pasting a word document onto a blog or reading an essay out to a camera then uploading to Youtube simply does not demonstrate excellent ICT skills - access to the top part of the mark scheme denied!
