What kind of assessments will students have this term?
Both of our assessment tasks relate to the impact that moderation has on individuals and society. Task 1 is a source analysis on the working conditions of children during the Industrial Revolution and Task 2 Students will focus on two related concepts - Innovation & Revolution and Causality. They will have an option of different questions and can present their information in a variety of ways. An example question is: What effects does industrialisation have on the environment?
