How to get a score of 8
Assessment Criterion B
ii. develops a range of feasible design ideas, using an appropriate medium(s) and detailed annotation, which can be correctly interpreted by others
Designs are developed over time in an iterative fashion. Students should record their iterative development through design sketching, modelling, refining and testing. This is all part of design development.
Start with loads of initial ideas - brainstorm ideas of potential solutions.
Choose a medium and produce several visuals that communicate a range of design ideas - here are some mediums to choose from:
Text - explain your ideas in bullet points or paragraphs
Two-point perspective sketch
Isometric &/or orthographic projection
Sectional views &/or exploded drawings
Part and assembly drawings
Prototypes
Three-dimensional CAD models
Storyboards
Flow-chart
Annotate each design idea to communicate your thinking with detailed annotation - (i.e. use your design specification list to guide you):
size and shape of components and overall
materials
how the components fit together to create the whole
tools and equipment
aesthetics (colour, texture, shape, form, line, balance, finish)
how the user will interact with the solution (ergonome)
Detailed Annotations - identify a key component then use the word "because" or "like" or “for example”
Each idea should be understood easily by a 3rd party and be a feasible solution to the initial problem (get a friend to look at your work.. to see if they understand your ideas and check if your ideas are feasible solutions)

Differentiation & Assessment
Criterion B Strand ii
0 >> The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors
1-2 >> The student presents one design, which can be interpreted by others
3-4 >> The student presents a few feasible designs, using an appropriate medium(s) or annotation, which can be interpreted by others
5-6 >> The student develops a range of feasible design ideas, using an appropriate medium(s) and annotation, which can be interpreted by others
7-8 >> The student develops a range of feasible design ideas, using an appropriate medium(s) and detailed annotation, which can be correctly interpreted by others
Criterion B Differentiation
ii. The student presents (one --> a few feasible --> a range of feasible) design(s) using an appropriate medium(s) (or --> and) annotation, which can be interpreted by others
