COURSEWORK MAJOR PROJECT
This holiday is always an excellent time (actually, a CRUCIAL time) to look through a folder and add value to the hard work you have already put in. It is an awesome thought, but work done between now and January can bump students up by a couple of grades!
Of course read my comments, that's what they are there for, but I'm sure you will use your own initiative and use the printed sheets with my comments on. Did I miss anything? The fact I haven't written a comment doesn't mean your sheet is no good... but it doesn't mean it's done, either, of course... it might just mean I missed it...
Perhaps... because...
It might be in the wrong place. This is a VERY good time to get your folder in order.
Perhaps it's printed off and not in your folder yet? Perhaps you haven't had a chance to print them off yet? I share your frustration with the printers and, as you know, this makes it so important to get the work printed off AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... it is scary to think that your GCSE could fail because of those flimsy, temperamental, abused, over-used, paper-jammed, out-of-ink unreliable plastic boxes people call printers.
Some common areas of gaps in folder work:
1) Download the photo of your white card clock from yr11.info. Printed in black and white will do. Pleeeease annotate it. Say whether it would be stable, serve its intended purpose, be easy/cheap to make, easy to be assembled by the recipient, etc.
2) Different designs for the dvd cover. The exam board has hinted at the importance of a good range of designs... this is why I keep banging on about it. ESSENTIAL. If it would help, email the design home and, if you have some kind of graphics package on your computer (even something that came free with your camera or scanner just for snapshot photo enhancements), do different colour schemes, fonts, etc. Even if you haven't, just print it off a few times and hand-draw different parts, cut and paste words and stick them on.... ANYTHING!
3) STEP-BY-STEP guide of how you would make the dvd cover / clock (preferably both, clock essential).
You may be a little marvel and have done all these... or perhaps you may be a little marvel who hasn't quite got round to this yet.
cheers, have a good Christmas and see you in January!
