P2 investigate ideas generating techniques
P3 generate and refine ideas in response to given briefs
P4 communicate and present ideas and outcomes to different audiences.

M1 use the results of purposeful research and investigation to inform own ideas and concepts, demonstrating coherent direction in originating and developing ideas
M2 demonstrate a considered approach to producing purposeful ideas and solutions in response to briefs, presenting work coherently and effectively

D1 independently analyse and interpret research to generate personal ideas and concepts, applying sophisticated thinking in generating, modifying and synthesising original ideas
D2 demonstrate an individual and perceptive approach to producing and communicating innovative and engaging work, using sophisticated presentation methods

Plenary – 10 mins
Set 3 smart targets to meet assessment criteria to achieve your best grade.
