Discussion question · 10 marks
Select one specific design project you have taught or are planning to teach. Map at least three distinct lesson activities within that project to the CAIE Assessment Objectives. How do these activities specifically generate evidence for AO3, and what strategies would you employ to guide a student who is currently only achieving at an AO1 level? Defend your approach by referencing how these activities contribute to a successful moderation process.
