Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student's work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range	A student in this range:
9-12 (High)	develops and communicates for each planning method a detailed and accurate plan that contains all of the relevant information and is sequenced logically explains clearly the similarities or differences between each planning method presents a strongly supported argument to justify the selection of the most appropriate method
5-8 (Satisfactory)	develops and communicates for each planning method a clear plan that contains most of the relevant information and shows some logic in its sequence describes the similarities or differences between each planning method presents an argument to justify the selection of the most appropriate method
1-4 (Progressing)	develops and communicates, for at least two planning methods, plans that contain some relevant information and are limited in detail and accuracy identifies the similarities or differences between each planning method uses a limited argument to justify the selection of the most appropriate method.

Feedback

The teacher will provide written feedback to students. Comments will inform them about such things as:

their ability to develop and communicate project planning tools including flow charts, Gantt charts and development lists
identifying the strengths and weaknesses of project planning tools to select the most appropriate management plan to develop design solutions
justifying a decision as part of the design process.

Future directions

Through this Activity students have developed skill in planning and communicating project planning methods. Evidence collected through this Activity could serve to inform teachers of student mastery of the development and communication of flow charts, Gantt charts and development lists. For those areas of weakness identified, further supplementary activities would be provided. The learning from this Activity can be further applied when managing design activities later in this unit of work and in subsequent units.
