marking criteria for planning

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.
