Commenting on Relevance
At a C Grade level, the Performance Standards ask you to:
Your Portfolio can be structured in any way that you like (as long as it makes sense to you). You can also present your natural evidence in a number of different ways. There is only one thing that you MUST do to meet the Performance Standards: comment on RELEVANCE.
To demonstrate that you have selected different strategies and incorporated different perspectives, you need to BRIEFLY comment on the natural evidence that you collate.
This should include:
1. Who wrote/created/produced the source OR Who did you interview/email etc.?
-> What makes them an expert on your learning intention?
2. What is the relevance of the strategy?
-> How does this strategy help you to achieve your learning intention?
3. Does this perspective match or contradict others that you have found
4. IF the date it was created could affect the accuracy or relevance of the information. How?

I interviewed my mother, Lucy Smith, on the 25th of February 2022 as she has used lemon juice in various ways over the past 30 years, and swears that the highly acidic nature of the fruit allows for hair to be highlighted. Mum discussed that she used to use lemon juice to add highlights to her blonde hair, but this method is no longer effective due to the amount of grey hairs she now has. This demonstrates that lemon juice could be a DIY method of changing hair colour, which is addresses my learning intention of using household items to replicate salon treatments at home. Additionally, Mum still utilises lemons to effectively clean household appliances (ovens, stoves etc.) and bathrooms (showers, grout etc.) by adding bi-carb soda to the surface of a chopped lemon and applying the mixture to the surfaces, further highlighting the acidic nature of the lemons. This acidity helps to explain why there is an effect when the juice is applied to hair and then heat is applied, as this would activate the bleaching element. I do have to consider that there is an element of bias with Mum’s limited perspective as these are only opinions and observations about lemon juice as an effective salon treatment. I should attempt to find the opinions of others who have tried this method to provide differing perspectives.
