    7C1 Global Studies Assessment 2


    During lockdown, English and Global Studies combined to focus on a project in which you conducted an interview with a member of your whanau about a journey they experienced. You participated in an interview skills class, and then created a range of interview questions.


    Using your recorded interview, you then took notes and used these to plan and write a biography extract detailing your interviewee’s journey and its importance.


    Now, you will collect this information and present it for assessment.


    You will need:

    • your completed BIOGRAPHY (see link to your work on google classroom above)


    Please aim to complete and proofread your plan and biography, before submitting these for assessment on or before Friday 29th October.

    You should aim to write between 200 and 600 words about your whanau member's journey.
