The Assessment Task: For US: 25073.

This week we will begin the assessment task for the US: 25073, read texts from different perspectives about an issue. The issue you will be exploring is about the impact social media has on young people. In the assessment task you will be reading three different texts about this issue  and you will also be required to identify the range of perspectives across these 3 texts. Use the question,'who thinks what?' to determine the perspective of the text, then ask yourself,'how do you know?' to identify the supporting detail. You no doubt will have your own perspective on this issue. All of the work and resources for this assessment are in your Hapara workspace. I would encourage you to use your class time wisely and commit to working at home as well to be successful and to make sure you meet the required deadline.
