AO1-A - IDENTIFY INVESTIGATE & OUTLINE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES

For the 1-9 GCSE. As this is still a new GCSE there is going to be confusion amongst both teachers and pupils. AQA have not provided any great depth of information for anyone, and so I think this will be the best way to go forward.

Yes it is a workbook and AQA have said that we should not use them. This just gives the pupils and us a foundation structure.

I use it with Yr10 to make them aware of the new assessment criteria. I have found that lower ability candidates use this in Yr11 as a framework to guide them and help them to collect the right information, and that it can then be used a little like a scrapbook to ‘cut and paste’ their work into another folder.

This is a 4 page document for the AO2- E and AO3 sections, and worksheets guide pupils to achieve the AQA assessment criteria.
