I have used this approach for some time - The students benefit greatly by being able to see their progress as their work develops over a project. This approach helps to close the loop between assessment, feedback and target setting for them to be held accountable the following week with how they have met their targets. This helps the students take ownership of targets. management also like to see you charting assessment progress like this.

This has always been a great lesson that can build into a larger project. Whatever the age the students always love the idea of having a “secret formula” for creating the work, even the older ones enjoy the joke here because it really is essential guidance on composition rules. The 11 page powerpoint provides the starter and instructions for the lesson along with contextual information on Kandinsky, and again all students love the story about his revelation on his work in the dark. There is also a lesson plan with AFL questioning and the handout sheet for the responses to Kandinsky with suggested word bank to use.
