AQA GCSE Art, Craft & Design Mini Project 'Focus Independence'

This resource was a mini project I developed to underpin learner understanding of the AQA Art, Craft and Design Assessment Objectives, focusing on working independently in response to an example exam question.

The mini project is open to development, I used it over a 4 week period as a compact example of how to respond quickly and efficiently to Assesment Objectives One (Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources) and Three (Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses).

The project includes

1. an 8 slide PowerPoint to introduce the Mini Project and explain expectations.
2. an assessment/feedback grid to provide learners with focused feedback pertinent to the AQA assessment criteria
3. a learner handout, outlining the example exam question and three clear tasks.

Teachers may wish to extend this project or use to introduce at Key Stage Three for more able groups.
