Include the date when you will first introduce the assessment components to your students. Explain the different stages and timeline and how students will be prepared to undertake both. Internal Assessment The internal assessment for the course will take place in the form of an investigation workbook (IWB). The IWB will document each student’s personal investigation into the visual arts. The IWB be introduced to students on the first day of class in August. The IWB will be turned in once a month to the teacher for internal assessment. The teacher will assess the IWB workbook according to the IB mark bands leaving remarks to the students via post-it notes. Students will be required to select and copy pages of their IWB to submit as part of their CRB with teacher guidance. Every month when students turn in IWB for assessment photo-copied pages will be due. These copies will be kept by teacher and later reflected on by students. Students will ultimately chose the final pages of their IWB for submission in the CRB based on the photo-copied pages they have provided. The IWB is a working journal which will reflect personal approaches, styles and interests.
