year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I used to give them dates that I wanted to make observations and they could use those dates to help plan, but kids being kids saw these
dates as only suggestions…and you’ve probably heard the line before... ”I love deadlines, I love the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by”. Well that’s what I ended up with. Too easy for kids to get to the end and still have a truck load of work
that they hadn’t completed. I found they spent far too much time fluffing around during the early stages and not producing anything significant. Also created a mountain of work for me marking at one time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">So, staged approach this year. I’m giving the kids dates, but these are submission and marking dates as you have suggested, pretty
much hand up one criteria at a time as we work through it. I’m hoping that this will keep them more focused knowing that they have to have deliverables at a certain time and hoping that is eases my load for marking also.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a SRS and a folio OR you just allow them to deliver according to their schedules? Presumably, the later option could become chaotic if their projects start to slip.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
