    Synthesis · The Stage 1 Practice Portfolio

    Led by Donald Schön Simulacrum

    The question

    The Stage 1 practice portfolio that synthesises the three short projects into a single argument about how the student's practice has developed. The module covers the portfolio's structure (three projects with full process material, three reflective journals, the integrative synthesis essay, one-page front matter), the discipline of re-reading the journals without revising them, the cross-discipline pattern as the practitioner's *signature* in Schön's sense, and the difference between this portfolio and the DES 1100 foundational portfolio at Module 5. The student writes a 1,500-word synthesis essay.

    Outcome

    The student has compiled the Stage 1 practice portfolio (three projects + journals) and written a 1,500-word synthesis essay arguing for what has changed in their practice. (Stage 1 portfolio)
