In your plan you should have;

Your steps for the creation of the product.

A resource List

Time plan

Evaluation / Modification of your plan: NB. This will be done after the create stage.

Assessment Criteria
0
The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors
given below.

1-2
The student produces a plan that contains some details of the steps and/or
the resources required.

3-4
The student produces a plan that contains a number of logical steps that
include resources and time. The student makes some attempt to evaluate
the plan.

5-6

Design Stage for Digital Activism Unit

For this stage you will develop three designs; The designs can be drawn on paper or designed using an appropriate software but submitted in hardcopy.

Each of the three designs should be measured against the design specifications with a brief personal self evaluation.

The final design should be fully Justified.

Assessment Criteria
0
The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors
given below.
1-2
The student generates one design, and makes some attempt to justify
this against the design specification.
3-4
The student generates a few designs, justifying the choice of one design
and fully evaluating this against the design specification.
5-6
The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated
against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design
and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification.

Note:
Please refer to the previous posting for students' designs posted.
