Today you will

• finish format 2 of your Something Real project
• save it as a file anyone can open
• get your teacher to check both formats for Key Assignment 1

If format 1 is not finished, or you have no format 2 draft, tell your teacher now.

Two different formats means two different kinds of piece, like a slide deck and a one-page flyer. A new colour on format 1 does not count.

A working file is the file you edit.

A publication copy is the finished file a real audience can open, such as a PDF, MP4, MP3 or PNG.

Example

Aoife's project is custom GAA boot laces. Format 1 is her VET slide deck. Format 2 is a one-page Canva promo. She saved it as {{code:sm2_ka1_format2.pdf}} in {{code:sm2}}.

Common issues

• My format 2 looks like format 1. Change the kind of piece, for example from slides to a one-page poster.
• I can't find my draft. Look in {{code:Project_Portfolio}}, then {{code:09_specialism}}, then {{code:sm2}}.
• I only have the file I edit. Download it as a PDF, MP4, MP3 or PNG, and keep both files.

Your goal is a clear, finished format 2 that is ready to download. Watch your teacher's polish pass, then polish your own draft.

1. Open your format 2 draft in its own tool. Slides are in {{code:Project_Portfolio}}, then {{code:09_specialism}}, then {{code:sm2}}.
2. Read your purpose sentence. Cut anything that does not help it.
3. Make headings bigger than the rest, and make your key line easy to read. Add captions or a short transcript to video or audio.
4. Check the spelling of names, places and euro amounts.
5. Start the download. For slides, use {{menu:File -> Download -> PDF Document (.pdf)}}. In Canva, use Share, then Download.

Tell your teacher early if the download fails.
