Rate your confidence in using 2D Design independently to design a jigsaw (on your own without help)

• Nearly There - I don't feel very confident and I might need extra help in some lessons.

• Working Towards - I am enjoying using 2D Design but I need help with some of the tools.

• Confident - I understand most of the tools I have used and I enjoy using the program.

• Very Confident - I fully understand the tools that I have used and I can work by myself or help others
