Examples of explorations

This section contains examples of explorations written by teachers, students and others involved in the development of the
new internal assessment. Many of them were written before the criteria were finalized, and were used in refining the
criteria. It should also be noted that they were not written under the conditions expected and outlined in the guides and in
earlier sections of this document. In particular, there was no teacher support and discussions, and no opportunities for
feedback. Despite that, some of the explorations do exemplify excellent work.
