Section outline

  • Kia ora class, this week is the beginning of our first assessment together! We are looking at adaptations, following the work we have done on sustainability, ocean life and climate change. We are pairing with Science to do a joint assessment, one where you make an Infographic Poster based on the work you have done in both classes. You will get the full details in class, and support will be given as needed. The exact location for your assessment on MHOL will be shown to you, but as this is a physical hand-in, you will be given full warning about where & when to submit.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • I can carefully follow guidelines for assessments and begin appropriate research for completing them.
    • I have started putting together my Infographic Poster, keeping an eye on my time management.

    Activities:

    2. Infographic Poster - Research & Planning (Reading, Writing)

    Follow Up Tasks:
    Quick Recap: Ocean Threats, what are they? (Verbal activity in class)

      For our Term 2 context ‘Tread lightly - Takahia Mana’, Year 7 students in Wai Whanau have been exploring our Native NZ environment, and looking at how humans can impact our environment. 

      In this assessment, you are going to create an infographic poster, to present information about this topic. 

      You will have two weeks of class time in Science and Global studies to complete your infographic and do a physical hand in. You will be instructed how to submit on Mission Heights Online.
