Mind Mapping

** P1: requires you to show Consideration and Refinement of your topic ** This means "considering" all the different aspects of your topic. //See the Moped example to see how this student broke the topic into various sections and then subsections.//
 * Consideration:**

This means showing your thought processes for taking all your "considered" options and refining the topic to your final research question. This may involve showing us several drafts of your research question, noting which bits of the question you like, why you changed aspects of your question. talking about your question with a friend, parent of teacher, then commenting on their feedback in your folio will help show evidence of refining your topic.
 * Refinement:**

//See the NHS Taekwondo example (hard copy only) for evidence of throughly refining your topic and question.//


 * P2: requires you to show evidence of thoroughly planning your resesarch processes that are appropriate to your topic **
