Folio

During the Research Project, students will produce a Folio for assessment.

The Folio provides evidence of the planning and development of your research. You need to include ALL aspects of your research in the Folio; for example, mind maps, journals, question development, newspaper articles, photocopied pages from books or other sources, as well as an ongoing annotated bibliography.

For assessment, you will need to select the 10 best pages (A4, single-sided) from your Folio for submission. Your RP teacher will guide you in this selection, to ensure that you have enough evidence to meet each of the assessment criteria.

Some of the recommended pages may include;

• SWOT Analysis, Lotus Diagram (including reflections)

• Research Processes Table

• Journal entries, Personal Reflection

• Bibliography

• Proposal (including reflections)

• Capabilities

• Survey/Interview Planning

• Annotated Sources

• Challenges/Opportunities

• Key Findings

** Please note: Each student's Folio should necessarily appear unique and relevant to their individual research topic. Hence, the items listed (above) are an indication only of the work required.
