GRAPHIC PRODUCTS

Hope that this helps students’ and parents’ with the course. The planning this year has been very tight and we will all need to work very hard to keep on track.

You must be self disciplined and organised to succeed.

Outline of dates and titles of work needed to complete coursework.

All work should be completed – you will need to prepare for some sections – treat as homework. ICT is available in my room and also please NOTE :- ICT rooms are available every lunchtime to progress your folio work. The ICT department also provides access to computers Monday to Thursday evenings.  There will be no excuses entertained for not having the ICT components completed.

I will be available certain evenings to assist in explaining areas of difficulty – see below.

Good luck

BEGIN MAKING CAR AN STAND

Before we do this we need to plan the making sequence. This is really important and should include details of tools and processes used. A cartoon type flow diagram is one approach. A time planning sheet is another. All stages need an estimate of time adding.

The stages need to highlight safety issues also.

INCLUDE reference to checking your work as it progresses

(  QUALITY CONTROL ) and QUALITY ASSURANCE
