ACTIVITY 13: Set Expectations and Prepare
It’s now time for your students to make their final costume/garment or model box. Support students
in organising all of the equipment and materials they need for their exam. Introduce your students
to this list of expectations for the final piece from the Royal Opera House. You should add the
requirements of your specific qualification and awarding body to this list- these however will not be
considered by the Royal Opera House at judging stage.
l Produce either a full or quarter size costume, or a section of a costume like a sleeve,
headdress, accessory or cuff for a character in Kenneth Macmillan’s Romeo and Juliet.
or
l Produce a model box in the scale 1:50, 1:75 or 1:100 for one scene in Kenneth Macmillan’s
Romeo and Juliet.
STAGE 6
MAKE IT HAPPEN
Students will produce their final model box or costume piece.
Top Tips for Making:
l Make sure you have all of the materials and tools that you need.
l Have your production plan and material and equipment checklist with you
and set yourself a time plan
l Be a perfectionist
l Teachers should add their own tips and expectations for their setting and course
Final Outcome
At the end of the ‘Make it Happen’ stage, every student should have a portfolio that coherently
progresses through the six stage of design, and a completed final piece that is a logical progression
from their design journey.
Celebrating the Students’ Success
It’s a good idea to have a celebratory sharing event in school for the students who have completed
the project, such as an exhibition of their work or an assembly with their peers and parents. You may
also wish to round the project off with a trip, such as:
If you are delivering Design Challenge in a module
that has a 5 or 10-hour exam at the end, you should
use this time for the final making.
l Visit the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden or the Production Site in Thurrock
for a Backstage Tour
l Visit the Royal Opera House to watch the Schools Matinee of Romeo and Juliet,
or an alternative ballet or opera
l Watch a Royal Opera House performance in the cinema
Suggested time: 5-10 hour exam time
