In this workshop you reflect on Module 2 by justifying your two presentation formats. You also describe real-life applications for the VET interview, other LCA courses and beyond, before banking Key Assignment 2.

    1 - Introduction ~5 mins

    Today you will

    • explain why you chose your two formats
    • write what you learned while making them
    • save your reflection as {{code:sm2_ka2_reflection.docx}} and {{code:sm2_ka2_reflection.pdf}} in {{code:Project_Portfolio/09_specialism/sm2/}}

    Illustration for IntroductionThis work counts for your Key Assignment. If one of your formats is not finished yet, finish it with your teacher first.

    Warm-up

    Finish this sentence in your head: "I chose format 1 because…" Does your answer say who the format is for?

    2 - Key Concepts ~6 mins

    The three sections

    • Choices made: say what each format is for and who it is aimed at.
    • What I learned: name one skill and when you used it.
    • Real-life applications: say where you will use it in the VET interview, other LCA work and beyond LCA.

    Add one honest line about any AI help, or write {{code:No AI assistance used}}.

    Conor runs a phone stall. He wrote: "I chose a 5-slide deck for the VET interview because the examiner needs a short talk."

    Use his shape, not his words.

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~15 mins

    You will set up your reflection file and write the first section. Keep format 1 and format 2 open beside you while you write.

    Follow the steps in the box below, and stop when the first section is done.

    4 - Common Issues ~4 mins

    If you get stuck

    • My writing sounds vague. Name one skill and one moment from your own formats.
    • Format 2 sounds the same as format 1. Think about a different reader, like customers or club members.
    • I can't find the PDF option. In Word, use {{menu:File -> Export -> Download as PDF}}. In Google Docs, use {{menu:File -> Download -> PDF Document}}.

    5 - Independent Practice ~25 mins

    Independent Practice

    Your goal: Finish your reflection and save a PDF beside it as Key Assignment evidence.
    Time: ~25 minutes
    Task:
    1. Open {{code:sm2_ka2_reflection.docx}} in {{code:sm2}}.
    2. Turn each starter in sections 2 and 3 into a full sentence about your own project.
    3. At the end, add a line headed {{code:AI disclosure}}: name any AI help, or type {{code:No AI assistance used}}.
    4. Read it through, then download it as a PDF named {{code:sm2_ka2_reflection.pdf}}.
    5. Move the PDF into {{code:sm2}} and show your teacher both files.
    Success criteria:
    • Section 1 says what each format is for and who it is aimed at.
    • Section 3 covers the VET interview, other LCA work and life beyond LCA.
    • My AI disclosure line is there.
    • Both files sit side by side in {{code:sm2}}.
