Gathering Evidence of the Process

You must keep a evidence of your process that includes your thoughts, decisions and actions throughout the project. You can choose to document your process any way you like, including using multiple formats to be suit your needs. It could be written, visual, audio (or a combination) and it could be on either paper or electronic formats.

For many students, they choose to create a process journal that serves as a tool as well as evidence of the work. This is a dated document that allows you to record your progress as you work. It is strongly advised to make digital copies of your evidence and save it to your Google Drive.

Format

The format is up to you. It can be:

  • a Google Doc or Word document

  • a written document (notebook, journal, pencil/paper)

  • other online format that records your process such as a blog, OneNote, or website.

  • Templates given to you by your teachers

Select the format that works best for you. Consider:

  • Remember: it can be in any written, audio, or visual format.

  • You can choose to upload photos or videos to show evidence of your project over various stages of development.

  • You will need to produce evidence of all objective strands.

  • You will select evidence to be included in your written report.


Your evidence should reflect how you
have addressed the objective stands.

Evidence

Your evidence might include:

  • charts

  • visual diagrams

  • notes

  • timelines

  • video material (up to 30 seconds)


  • annotated illustrations

  • screenshots of a website or blog

  • artifacts from research trips (museum, gallery, etc.)

Evidence of the process is:

  • gathered throughout the project to document

its development

  • an evolving record of intents, processes, accomplishments

  • a collection of initial thoughts and developments, brainstorming, possible lines of inquiry and further questions raised

  • a record of interactions with sources; for example, teachers, supervisors, external contributors

  • a record of selected, annotated and/or edited research and to maintain a bibliography

  • a collection of useful information, for example, quotations, pictures, ideas, photographs

  • a means of exploring ideas and solutions

  • a place for evaluating work completed

  • devised by the student in a format that suits his or her needs

  • a record of reflections and formative feedback received.


Evidence of the process isn't:

  • collected on a daily basis (unless this is useful for the student)

  • written up after the process has been completed

  • additional work on top of the project; it is part of and supports the project

  • a diary with detailed writing about what was done (unless this is useful for the student)

  • a single, static document with only one format (unless this is useful for the student).
