I just read this at the OCC:
In terms of the Porfolio Extension pieces, are you having students provide a brief 100 word description prior to Criterion N? Do you think it's necessary? Charles Newman
Answer
Absolutely! I take up all offers that will maximise my students' marks and this is a big opportunity!
I did this last November and it was most successful. It meant that they didn't waste words in Criterion N writing introductory information that didn't gain marks. It also set the scene for the moderator who, unlike me, was not familiar with my students' topics.
To summarise for other teachers it is suggested that students:
Begin the Extension with an introduction (not part of the word count)
-Use the heading introduction
-Write no more than 100 words (otherwise they count!)
-State briefly the issue, and the stakeholders, as identified in criterion C
-State the interviewee(s), and justify their qualifications as a stakeholder Elizabeth
This is the first I have heard of it, but it seems that you are allowed to write introductions that are not part of the word count.
