  • Read back through your personal investigation. 
  • The practitioners that you have chosen will suggest a theme that is reflected in your practical work. 
  • Come up with a good two-part title. The first part should grab attention. The title will be answered or explored in your writing.
  • Write until you have concluded your investigation. 
  • Make sure that you have evaluated the approaches of artists, compared and contrasted, asked suitable questions and searched for relevant answers, and present your own, considered points of view
  • A. B and C grade students will revise their essay. Going back in and editing, taking bits out that are irrelevant and tightening it up. 
  • Give it to a friend or relative. Ask them to feedback- does it make sense? Does it explore? Is there a clear introduction and a satisfying conclusion?
  • Correct spelling and punctuation.
  • Include a bibliography.


Stundet Assessment Objective Checklist.






















The exam board issue students with an Assessment Objective Checklist. Here's their version. I have made a simplified version HERE.
We can use the separate elements from the assessment objective to shine a light on where you need to focus your efforts. It can also help to put your mind at rest, to show you that there is a finite amount of work.
We are going to go through your work and add colour coded post-it labels for each of the assessment objective elements. 
Pink for AO1. Blue for AO2. Orange for AO3.
Make sure you write the AO and the number element on the post-it.
Please note, you could have all of these elements and still gain a low grade. Quality of work is still needed.
