Learner Goals
Exceptional
Mastery (E7)
Images have been used as inspiration to create unique ideas for the light
The top and the base work together to create a unique and clever design
Advancing
Mastery (A7)
Images have been cleverly manipulated to work as ideas for the light
The top and base match and the shape of the top section has been cleverly designed
Mastery (S7)
Secure
Images have been simply manipulated to work as ideas for the light
The top and base match and the shape of the top section has been considered carefully.
Developing
Mastery (D7)
Research is used but the ideas are direct copies.
The theme of the top matches the theme of the base.
Foundation
Mastery (F7)
There is no evidence of research leading to the ideas.
The top does not appear to match the base
Learner Goals
Exceptional
Mastery (E7)
MODELLING THE CHOSEN IDEA
As below plus a design that considers the function/requirements/constraints of the top section
MODIFICATIONS /IMPROVEMENTS
As below plus the function/requirements/constraints of the top section have also been addressed. Consideration how it will be made should be evident
Advancing
Mastery (A7)
As below plus ideas are cleverly designed and illustrate an understanding of laser cutting
Evaluation of models illustrates a full understanding of how the idea needs to be modified Suggestions have been carefully considered and modifications are creative.
Mastery (S7)
Secure
As below plus layering and consideration of design constraints
Evaluation of models illustrates a clear understanding of how the idea needs to be modified. Suggestions have been considered and modifications have led to an improved design
Developing
Mastery (D7)
The chosen idea has been successfully modelled using manipulated images/card/paper
Evaluation of models illustrates some understanding of how the idea needs to be modified. Some suggestions taken on board and some modifications made.
Foundation
Mastery (F7)
The chosen idea has been modelled using direct images from the internet
Evaluation of models illustrates little awareness of opportunity to improve the idea. Suggestions not taken on board and modifications are limited
Learner Goals
Exceptional
Mastery (E7)
High level of making/modelling/finishing skills and accuracy
Selected and used appropriate tools, materials
Worked independently to produce a rigorous and demanding outcome
Quality controls are evident throughout the project and it is clear how accuracy has been achieved.
Advancing
Mastery (A7)
Final outcome shows very good level of making/modelling/finishing skills
Outcome demonstrates a high level of demand
Quality control checks applied in the manufacture of the product
Mastery (S7)
Secure
Final outcome shows good level of making/modelling/finishing skills
Used appropriate materials, components, equipment
Parts of outcome show high levels of demand
Applied quality control checks broadly but superficially
Developing
Mastery (D7)
Final outcome is largely complete and represents a basic level of making/modelling/finishing skills
Used materials, components and equipment correctly and safely
Some aspects of outcome are demanding
Some evidence of limited quality control applied throughout the process
Foundation
Mastery (F7)
Final outcome is incomplete or represents an undemanding level of making/modelling/finishing skills
Used materials, components and equipment safely under close supervision
Worked with some assistance to produce outcome of limited demand
There is limited evidence of any quality control and levels of accuracy are minimal
