Your documentation will provide a clear and accessible record of the different stages of your project and the different kinds of activities undertaken. Your documentation might take the form of a collage, storyboard, journal, blog, movie, photographs, annotated drawings or annotated creative writing... (your tutor will help you work out the best way to present your documentation).
Your reflective writing will explain the process you undertook and examine it critically using at least two concepts, theories and/or models from the course. Your reflections should show how your understanding of creativity/the creative process has deepened, extended or changed through carrying out and analysing your creative project. This is academic writing. It should have a brief introduction and a conclusion and be organised into paragraphs. This writing should be informed by and explicitly reference ideas and readings from the course. You may also draw on and refer to other relevant material.
