Tasks

1. Decide on the theme for your calendar – it could be based on sports, a hobby, religious festivals, etc. Remember you must take the photographs. Each photograph taken must reflect the month it represents; you may need to be creative in doing this. Produce a rationale of why you choose your calendar theme and what types of images you want to capture. Set some appropriate and realistic aims and objectives.

A rationale should include but is not limited to the focus, scope and background.

Remember that aims are the strategy, and objectives are specific actions to complete aims.

2. Plan how you are going to gather your research and what your priorities and success criteria are. What photographs do you need? Where will you take them? How long will it take? What resources will you need? What are your timescales?

3. Use your plan to manage and prioritise your work, including resources, timescales, and risks, to create a calendar. You can create your calendar in several ways. Here are some ideas for you: Microsoft Calendars, Vertex, Calendars Quick, or a Word document/PowerPoint. Share your finished product with other learners to gain feedback.
