Personal Investigation - Practical





Now is the time to consider the practical element of the personal investigation. I have created a set of personal investigation checklists that focus on children's picture books, gig posters, comics and non-fiction books. They are lists that set out the sort of tasks that you should be completing before January - that's 16 college weeks away. After that will be the exam.

Links to checklists HERE and in the navbar above.

Don't forget that you are working / presenting in a combination your sketchbooks and Google slides.
