    Things I need to consider:

    Planning: does it need improvement or other changes?

    Resources: does the school ensure they are made available?

    Process

    1. Myself

    - Do my questions foster critical & creative thinking?

    - Do I enable my students to rethink, reorganize and refine their ideas?

    - Do I provide enough time for students to work independently, in pairs and in groups??- Do I act as a facilitator of the inquiry process?

    2. My students- Are they enthusiastic about this exhibition? Are they too anxious?

    - Do they show independence in their work? Do they need my assistance too often?

    - What do they find difficult to understand, research, learn or present?- Do they work collaboratively?

    - Do they manage their time effectively?

    3. Mentors:- Do they show commitment? Do they follow their timetable?

    - Are they assisting students thoroughly during these sessions? Do they provide too much/not enough suppo- What is their feedback on the students work?- How do students view the work with the mentors?

    4. Parents- Have they understood the importance of this exhibition?

    - Do they support their kids throughout this process? How?

    - Do they have other questions regarding the final event?

    5. School staff (especially IT Department)

    - Do other staff members show understanding of Exhibitions importance?

    - Do they help when required?
