Candidates need to be able to communicate their proposed modification with precision and clarity using sketches with detailed annotations, including appropriate conventions and specialist D&T vocabulary.
The proposed modification should be based on an analysis and evaluation of the product and include an analysis of the wider issues (cultural, economic, environmental and social factors) in Design & Technology.
