September 2008 SPBs
The SPBs published in September 2008 are no longer valid for moderation. However, they can still be used as practice materials.
Unit 1: Out and About
This project focuses on plans for a group of foreign students visiting the area. Students must prepare a set of publications to help organisers plan the visit and welcome the students.

Level 1
The publications required are some trip lists (from the database), a formal invitation, a sequence of digital posters and a leaflet.

Unit 2: Small Actions, Big Change
This project focuses on a community Action Event. This is based on the work of an organisation called We Are What We Do which encourages people to carry out small positive actions. Students will produce a set of products to promote one of the actions at the event.
Please note that the "Listen to this page" feature is not currently activated for this series of SPBs. We hope to resolve this in the near future.
Logo template
At the request of We Are What We Do, we have modified the logo template in these SPBs. If you have already produced a logo using the old template, this will still be valid. If you have not yet produced your logo, please use the new template.
Level 1
The products are a digital poster, a movie, an information point and a web page. An original logo will be produced and used on all products.

Unit 3: Chill out here!
This project focuses on the design of a ‘chillout’ zone – a room or area of a room where individuals and groups can take time out. All products are linked by a common theme which is chosen by the student, as is the target audience.
Please note that the "Listen to this page" feature is not currently activated for this series of SPBs. We hope to resolve this in the near future.
Level 1
The products are designs for wallpaper, a cushion and a screensaver, a floor plan showing the layout and an elevation showing the wallpaper.

Unit 4: £10 challenge
This project focuses on raising as much money as possible for a worthwhile cause. Students are given a nominal sum to start them off, but may need to raise money for set-up and promotional costs before the enterprise can be launched.
Please note that the "Listen to this page" feature is not currently activated for this series of SPBs. We hope to resolve this in the near future.
Level 1
Students are required to work in teams to raise at least £1,000 for a worthy cause/purpose of their choice. Each team has £10 per team member to start with and must plan to sell at least one product or service.

Unit 5: Disaster strikes!
Please note that the "Listen to this page" feature is not currently activated for this series of SPBs. We hope to resolve this in the near future.
Level 2
This project requires students to create a game where a new hero/heroine tries to save the planet. The game can be about anything that would appeal to 12-year-olds. It could be about an alien attack, an asteroid hitting earth, or the long-term effects of global warming.
Please note: This SPB is valid for moderation in December 2009 and June 2010 only, for students who commenced work on it prior to September 2009. All students starting the D205 SPB from September 2009 MUST use the 0909 D205 SPB.
