Year 11, Keep working toward your goal.  Your Process Journal is an important part of this criterion so please document it thoroughly.

The due date for the Create is: January 9 . This means that you must have your final product complete, the paragraph/s saying if your plan worked and indicating any modifications you made and why you made them, and the Process Journal.

If you have any questions, please feel free to raise your hand.

Year 11, Remember to use your diaries. Very few of you actually handed in your work by last Friday as we agreed.

Now, it's on to the Create. This is the moment you have been waiting for!

CREATE - Criterion D (maximum 6)

According to the IBO:

• Students are expected to document, with a series of photographs or a video and a dated record, the process of making their product/solution, including when and how they use tools, materials and techniques. 
• Students are expected to follow their plan, to evaluate the plan and to justify any changes they make to the plan while they are creating the product/solution. This means that you must have a process journal and that it is a necessary component of this criterion. 

To get a 5/6:
The student competently uses appropriate techniques and equipment.
The student follows the plan and justifies any modifications made, resulting in a product/solution of appropriate quality using the resources available.

Learning Objective: The student will: use a range of appropriate techniques and equipment competently; ensure a safe working environment for themselves and others; follow the plan to produce the product/soltuion; evaluate the plan and justify any changes to the plan (when necessary); and create a product/solution of appropriate quality.
