Your project or portfolio for your assessment task is well under way. Today is a checkpoint: you document what you have made so someone else can understand and judge it, note honestly where AI tools helped, check any ethical or legal issues, and package your evidence cleanly. You are not finishing the whole project today. You are making the work ready to be read, and ready for a partner to open and try in about 30 seconds.
By the end of today you need six things done, and they build on each other. You need a short overview of your work, your plan saved alongside it, and one note about a test you ran. Then you need a note on where AI tools helped you, a note on any ethical or legal issue in your work, and all of it gathered into one package: a single folder or portfolio holding every piece of your work in a set order, saved to the shared class folder your teacher names, so it opens in a single try from there. Extra polish, such as renaming every file, running more rounds of testing or writing up the partner open-test in detail, comes only if time allows.
A judge or classmate who never saw you build this should still be able to follow it. Good documentation means:
Good enough looks like this:
Example overview: "This is a MakeCode Arcade sorting game for first years learning recycling. Open recycling_game in MakeCode Arcade and select Run. Arrow keys move the sorter; score rises when plastic hits the right bin."
Example AI note: "ChatGPT suggested a fix for my sprite overlap bug. I tested the change, kept only the overlap block, and rewrote the comment in my own words."
Your teacher will also show a short checklist of what makes documentation good: the work can be understood, decisions are explained, testing is shown, AI use is noted, and ethical issues are considered. Packaging means putting everything into one clear folder or portfolio that a marker can open without guessing. Unless your teacher changes it, the layout is four parts in this order: 01_Overview, 02_Project, 03_Process and 04_AI_and_ethics, with the main thing you made sitting at the top of 02_Project so it opens in one click.
