BRAINSTORMING - 'INDUSTRY'

So what did you come up with?
We've put together some ideas here to help you to focus upon the subject. Remember - The examining board will applaud good quality work, whatever the interpretation, but original and unusual approaches to the topic theme could add the difference between one grade and the next.

An example of intial "brainstorming."

"Brainstorming" provides a means of clarifying relevant material. Charts (like the one above) can be used at each stage of development and can form a small part of the work journal.

From the chart you can pick out various diverse, but linked, areas which could be used to produce a body of work on the theme of 'INDUSTRY.' PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the subject title of the current examination and has only been selected as an example.

From the chart (above) you can see that a simple title like 'Industry' can spawn a multitude of ideas. The way you approach the subject, and justify your actions through good annotation, will decide how well it is accepted.
