Hi maryanne,<br>
I think you can do whatever you like- shorten it if you feel you need to- but it is not formative. It needs to be assessed as it always has.<br>
<br>
I will be doing mine as I usually do.<br>

Subject: [Design and Technology] SAC time allowances<br>
<br>
Hi all.<br>
My unit 3 SAC 2 is going to be on 1/6<br>
Are we still advised to shorten the SAC even though we will be back in the classroom.<br>
Will the SAC still be formative?<br>
What are others doing?<br>
I dont want to disadvantage my students any more than they already are!<br>
Regards Maryann Augustinus UHS<br>
