keeps records of work activities in an orderly manner; that is, the student:
• sets up a system for storing records of work activities;
• maintains records of work activities in a way that makes it possible
to find specific materials quickly and easily.
The student kept an on-going tally chart of collections and posted it
on the classroom door for the school to see (see 
).
She also maintained weekly tallies by grade after consulting with her
assistants. This was transferred onto a line graph for easier record keeping.

information for short publications, such as brochures or posters; that
is, the student:
• organizes the information into an appropriate form for use
in the publication;
• checks the information for accuracy;
• formats the publication so that it achieves its purpose.
The student created
a poster to advertise the raffle. The handmade poster has a clear message
and an eye-catching design.
This poster provides
a barometer-style representation of the progress of the raffle. Again,
the poster provides clear information and is designed well to serve its
purpose of encouraging raffle ticket sales.

this poster to inform students of the winners of the raffle drawing. It
presents the information in a clear and concise manner appropriate to
a poster of this kind.

Communication Tools and Techniques: The student composes and sends
correspondence, such as thank-you letters and memoranda providing information;
that is, the student:

the raffle. It was written in a style appropriate to the purpose of the
correspondence.
This letter memorializes the outcome of the project. It is succinct, clearly
written, and appropriate for its purpose and audience.

| • | develops a plan for the event or activity that: |
| - | includes all the factors and variables that need to be considered; |

| - | takes into account the resources available to put the plan into action, including people and time; |

| • | makes recommendations to others who might consider planning and organizing a similar event or activity. |
 |
The student collected information and feedback from other students
who worked with her on the project. This formed part of the data on
which she based her evaluation of the project. |
