​​
​​Step 1: Task Understanding
  • ​​Read the instructions and this checklist carefully 
  • ​​Read the Marking Rubric carefully
​​
​​Step 2: Research Project
​​To help you define the scope of your creative project, you must complete research: 
  • ​​Reading the Library Search Tips guide
  • ​​Identify a set of potentially useful resources
  • ​​Survey, skim, and scan to find the relevant articles, and parts of articles
​​
​​Step 4: Critical Reading
  • ​​As you read the resource, jot down notes using this framework (adapted from Marshall and Rowland (2006)):
  • ​​The author’s purpose: why has the author written the material? Are these purposes explicitly stated? Are these implicitly stated?
  • ​​The author’s approach: what are the author’s underlying assumptions? Are these explicitly stated? Is there any proof of bias? 
  • ​​Content: what is the author’s thesis? How do they develop the thesis? What evidence, examples, or explanations are used?
  • ​​Tip: as you read, make reference notes of any sources
​​
​​Step 3: Define Scope
  • ​​Based on your research, outline what your creative project is, but also what it isn’t
  • ​​Tip: this will help you stay focused and avoid “scope creep” later on
​​
​​Step 4: Write Plan
  • ​​Use this structure to help you write your Creative Project Plan
  • ​​Project Summary: provide a high-level understanding of what the project is
  • ​​Target Audience: state who you want to reach, ie. demographic outline or certain persona
  • ​​Problem: state the problem that you are trying to solve, explaining why you need to do this
  • ​​Goal: state why you are doing this project and what you are trying to achieve
  • ​​Process: outline the steps required and how you will document each part
