In this lesson you are reflecting. The collaborative task is done. ALT 3 begins here: not with a long write-up, but with the raw material that reflection needs.

You will name 5–8 transferable skills you actually used or grew during the group work, each pinned to one specific moment. Vague claims die in ALT 3. Moments survive.

Three terms you will use for the rest of ALT 3. Read them once, then keep them beside you while you write.

1. Reopen the task (about one minute). Open your collaborative-task materials: the brief, notes, group chat, photos, any record of clarifying, ideating, developing or implementing. Jot five messy moment bullets. Rough is fine. These become your evidence lines.

2. Create the portfolio document. Create a document titled exactly ALT 3 Transferable Skills in your Strand 2.1 / ALT 3 folder (create the folder if needed). If the file is already there, open it. This document is a Digital Portfolio artefact and the first banked evidence for ALT 3. Save it with your other portfolio work so you can find it for Portfolio in Action.

3. Build the shape together. First, build one strong skill-evidence-impact entry together on the board. A line only stays if it names something that actually happened.

4. Write your list. In ALT 3 Transferable Skills, write at least five transferable skills you developed or demonstrated in the collaborative task (aim for 5–8). For each entry use the same three subheadings:

• Skill — the transferable skill in plain language
• Evidence — one specific moment from the task (who, when, what you did)
• Impact — what changed because of it for the group, the idea, or you

5. Connect to Strand 1.1 (required note). Cross-check this list against your Strand 1.1 skills work if you have it: Skills Audit, Strong Skills Evidence, Transferable Skills. At the bottom of the same document, write a short two-part note:

• Already strong before this task: skills you already claimed in Strand 1.1 that showed up again
• New because of this task: skills the collaborative work forced

If those Strand 1.1 files are not available, still write the two-part note from what you remember of Strand 1.1. Do not skip it. Example line: Already strong: listening in disagreement. New: contacting outside groups when a lead went quiet.

If a skill only works as a label with no moment behind it, cut it. Five honest triplets beat eight empty ones. By dismissal you need at least five triplets with real moments; top up toward eight before the next lesson if you are short. This list is ALT 3 evidence in progress.

Talk these through with the person beside you, then decide whether anything on your list needs a sharper moment before you leave.

Must-do (sceptical reader):

• Pick the triplet you are least sure about. What would a sceptical reader ask, and can you answer it with a better moment from your task materials?

Bonus (Strand 1.1 sharpen):

• If your Strand 1.1 skill work is open beside you, check whether today's list and your two-part note still match: which skills were already strong then, and which only showed up because the collaborative task demanded them?
• If those files are missing, reread the two-part note at the bottom of ALT 3 Transferable Skills and tighten any line that still feels vague.

Add one sentence at the bottom of the same ALT 3 Transferable Skills portfolio document: the skill you almost left off, and why you nearly missed it.

Today you started ALT 3 by turning the collaborative task into transferable-skill evidence.

• You used the skill-evidence-impact shape so each skill carries a real moment, not a claim
• You created or updated your ALT 3 Transferable Skills Digital Portfolio document with at least five triplets (aiming for 5–8)
• You connected the list to Strand 1.1 skillset work with a two-part note (from files or from memory)
• You left with the raw material the ALT 3 reflection will draw on next

If a triplet still feels thin, fix the moment before the next lesson, not the skill label. Top up toward eight entries if you only banked five today.
