1. Marking Criteria for the presentation of the research and planning
Research and Planning may be presented in electronic format, but can take the form of a folder or scrapbook at this
level. Where candidates have worked as a group, this may be presented collectively, but teachers are asked to
differentiate the contributions of individuals within the group in arriving at a mark and justifying individual marks on
the assessment sheet. As part of the moderation sample, the moderator will expect to see research/planning
evidence.
