Publication+Analysis

Before you can begin to think about your own publication, you must draw up some performance criteria that you can use to evaluate the success of your product. In groups of three, take a look at some of the publications available online at www.issuu.com (you will need to sign up for a free account – use your school e-mail address).
 * Publication Analysis **

==== Create a Google Doc and share it amongst your group. Name the document ‘Publication Analysis’ and place it in your ‘Year 8 – Desktop Publishing’ folder in your Google Drive. Use this document to type up ideas for success criteria as bullet points and then come up with a final list by discussing amongst the group which are the most important factors. ====

Remember, you do not have to be sitting beside each other to communicate – you can use the comments feature inside Google Docs :-)

 * TIPS ON MAKING GOOD SUCCESS CRITERIA **
 * ==== They need to be measurable ====
 * ==== They need to be specific ====
 * ==== They need to be relevant ====

==== **A GOOD EXAMPLE WOULD BE**: 'colour scheme suits the audience' and / or 'consistent colour scheme throughout the newsletter'. These are much more specific, relevant to the topic and we can measure leaflets against them. ====
