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:
8-10 (High)	designs and produces a functional and innovative solution that is appropriate to the identified need effectively collaborates and competently manages the design process evaluates the solution in relation to the identified need
4-7 (Satisfactory)	designs and produces a working solution that demonstrates some innovation and is appropriate to the identified need cooperates with team members and applies sound management practices in the design process explains the solution in relation to the identified need
1-3 (Progressing)	designs and produces a solution that demonstrates limited innovation for an identified need cooperates in a limited way with team members and applies simple management practices in the design process describes the solution in relation to the identified need.

Feedback

The teacher provides oral feedback to students. Comments will inform them on their ability to:

design and produce innovative solutions appropriate to an identified need
collaborate and manage the design process
evaluate the solution in relation to the identified need.

Future directions

As a result of this Activity students have developed an understanding of, and skill in, ways to generate innovative design ideas. They have developed skills in collaboration in completing all aspects of the Activity. This learning can be further developed through group work where students evaluate the results of other groups and the success of the designed solutions. Skills developed in this Activity can be used when developing ideas for the design project of a storage solution.
