PP specifciations

As a table write down 3 specifications of a good snowman

Frankie’s snowman specification:● It must be white● It must be made of snow● It must have a round shape● It must have a carrot for its nose

Use Frankie’s specification to evaluate this snowman:

● Is it white?● Is it made of snow?● Does it have a

round shape?● Does it have a

carrot for it’s nose?

What are the problems with Frankie’s specifications?

How could these specifications be improved?

Albert’s specificationSpecification topic Materials Aesthetics Function Size

Specification detail What materials will be used?

How will it appear?

To be a representation of a man

What size should it be?

Limited Snow with stick arms Pile of snowDoes not look like a man Under 0.5m high

AdequateSnow with stick arms and stone facial features One snow ball

Looks somewhat like a man

Over 0.5m and Under 1m high

Substantial

Snow with stick arms, stone facial features (eyes and mouth) and a distinct nose (example a carrot)

Two snow balls (head and body)

Looks a lot like a man

Over 1m and under 1.5m high

Rigorous

Snow with stick arms, stone facial features (eyes and mouth), a distinct nose (example a carrot) and a fabric hat or a scarf

Three snow balls (Legs, body and head) Looks like a man Over 1.5m high

Take a look at Albert’s snowman specifications:● Why are these specifications

better?● Why would they be easier to

evaluate?

Personal project specification You will be required to reflect on and allow other people to reflect upon your personal project at the showcase.

For this reason you must develop a suitable specification

Specifications - Example

Specification stages1. Identify the details of a rigorous example of

your final outcome using the rigorous goal outcomes worksheet.

2. For each specification develop a scale from a limited to adequate to substantial to rigorous, using the specification worksheet

Specifications - Template

Level Descriptor Task specific clarification1-2 Develop a limited criteria for the

product or outcome Some specification stated Stated list format

3-4 Develop adequate criteria for the product or outcome

Most specification described Described list format

5-6 Develop substantial and appropriate criteria for the product or outcome

All specification described Specification table attempted Suitable range shown for some

specification

7-8 Develop rigorous criteria for the product or outcome

All specification described and are suitably challenging specification identified

Specification table completed Suitable range for all specification
