Strand i - Explain the impact of the project on themselves or their learning.
What you need to do:
Elaborate about the project and what new knowledge you found.
Explain that your project extends your knowledge about your learning goal.
Explain how it is relevant in real life.
Guiding Questions:
When doing the project, what new knowledge did you find? Elaborate!
How did your project extend your knowledge about your learning goal?
How is it relevant in real life?
What a good example looks like:
When I started the project I thought that I would be able to learn everything I needed to make my product through traditional research. The biggest takeaway for me was that I was surprised to find that actually, I learned more through the creation of the film and my tutorial than through reading books and websites, as animation is such an interactive topic that it is easier to learn trying it out rather than reading about it. Overall, as a result of this, I will now feel more comfortable in taking risks and learning while doing, where I would have previously held back. I understand that research can also be practical, and trial and error.
Strand ii - Evaluate the product based on the success criteria.
What you need to do:
Show your product or evidence of your product (5 pictures; it could be a picture of your product or the process during the creation of your product).
Evaluate your product based on the success criteria.
Include evidence to assess the success of your product.
Guiding Questions:
How did you make sure that your product meets the success criteria?
What evidence can you provide to demonstrate the success of your product?
What a good example looks like:
Overall Evaluation: I think that I created a successful product, however not to the highest standard possible. I believe that I did well for a person with my skill level, but naturally nothing is perfect and there’s always room for improvement, especially in terms of art. My main weaknesses were maintaining consistent character design and creating fluid movement, and the lack of accurate representation of my knowledge of astronomy. I feel like I could have done more practice background drawings before starting the movie to be more familiar drawing techniques, because I redid a lot of my backgrounds more than once because I couldn’t get them to look accurate. If I did trial pieces beforehand, I could have gotten through the process quicker and done more backgrounds to show even more of my knowledge. I met my goal, but not as well as I could have. I sent out a survey to my peers that hits on all strands of my criteria so that I could consider their opinion in my final evaluation.
