| HANDOUT 7 • SUMMATIVE | PERSONAL IDENTITY POSTER |
Personal Identity Poster — Summative
Your final challenge: Create an A4 personal identity poster for other Grade 6 students. Your poster must communicate three true identity words through images, colour, type, and layout. Submit the final poster and the evidence in this one handout to the Identity Poster Summative assignment.
How the summative is scored
Criterion A: your research, audience understanding, and design brief. Score: ____ / 8
Criterion B: your specification, ideas, chosen design, and final plan. Score: ____ / 8
Final product: your finished poster must be readable, personal, and appropriate for Grade 6 peers. It supports the evidence but is not a separate criterion score on this page.
| HANDOUT 7 • SUMMATIVE | CRITERION A |
Section 1 — Criterion A: Inquiring and analysing
| TODAY’S ASSESSMENT CRITERION A | SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT You are graded on how well you explain the need, research existing posters, analyse them, and write a clear design brief. |
For this handout, your teacher records a score for Criterion A only. The other criteria are not being graded on this task.
Follow these steps
| 1 | State the design need. Write why a personal identity poster is useful in this class. Name the audience: other Grade 6 students. |
| 2 | Research three existing posters. Choose three identity, ‘about me’, or personal-brand posters. Include an image or link for each. Do not use the same poster three times. |
| 3 | Analyse each poster. For every poster, explain one visual choice that helps communication and one choice you would avoid in your own work. Mention image, type, colour, hierarchy, or layout. |
| 4 | Write your design brief. A design brief is a short statement explaining who needs the product, what it should communicate, and who will use it. Use the sentence frame below, then improve it with your own words. |
Criterion A writing frame
| Design need: A personal identity poster is useful because… ________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Audience: My poster is for… They need to understand… ________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Design brief: I will design an A4 poster for… so that… It will communicate… ________________________________________________________________________________ |

Continue using the evidence from the previous page.
Criterion A rubric • score out of 8
| SCORE | WHAT YOUR WORK SHOWS |
| 7–8 | I make insightful links between audience, research, visual analysis, and a precise design brief that strongly guides my poster. |
| 5–6 | I clearly explain the need, use relevant research, analyse useful poster choices, and write a focused brief for Grade 6 peers. |
| 3–4 | I included some research and a basic brief, but my analysis is mostly description rather than explanation. |
| 1–2 | My need, research, analysis, or brief is missing, unclear, or not connected to the poster. |
Teacher score — Criterion A: ____ / 8
| HANDOUT 7 • SUMMATIVE | CRITERION B |
Section 2 — Criterion B: Developing ideas
| TODAY’S ASSESSMENT CRITERION B | SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT You are graded on how clearly you set requirements, develop ideas, choose one direction, and plan the final poster. |
For this handout, your teacher records a score for Criterion B only. The other criteria are not being graded on this task.
Follow these steps
| 1 | Write a design specification. A specification is a checklist of success requirements. It tells you what the poster must do before you make it. |
| 2 | Show three ideas. Attach or photograph your three different thumbnail layouts. Each must show a different arrangement, focal point, or visual approach. |
| 3 | Choose and justify one idea. Name the chosen idea. Explain how it best meets your audience, identity words, and specification. |
| 4 | Create a final plan. Make a labelled plan of the poster. Label headline, focal image, colour palette, fonts, supporting text, and where the three identity words appear. |
Criterion B planning frames
| My poster must… (write at least five checkable requirements) ________________________________________________________________________________ |
| I chose Idea ___ because… It best communicates… ________________________________________________________________________________ |
| My final plan uses… (headline / image / colours / fonts / layout) ________________________________________________________________________________ |
| HANDOUT 7 • SUMMATIVE • RUBRIC AND SCORE | CRITERION B |
Continue using the evidence from the previous page.
Criterion B rubric • score out of 8
| SCORE | WHAT YOUR WORK SHOWS |
| 7–8 | I develop highly purposeful ideas and a detailed, coherent plan. My justification makes precise links to the audience, brief, and specification. |
| 5–6 | I create a clear specification, develop feasible different ideas, justify a suitable chosen design, and provide a labelled final plan. |
| 3–4 | I included some requirements and ideas, but they are limited, unclear, or weakly connected to my chosen design. |
| 1–2 | My specification, ideas, explanation, or plan is missing or too incomplete to guide a final poster. |
Teacher score — Criterion B: ____ / 8
