Your Opinion Please

Students explore key concepts related to quality of life, human rights and globalization with a particular focus on the impact of globalization on women and children. This exploration provides the foundation for subsequent activities within Related Issue 4 where students will examine their personal responsibility and then take action as citizens in a globalizing world.

Focuses for Assessment: How the Outcomes Are Grouped

The Summative Assessment Task: Your Opinion Please  and accompanying rubric  address the following focuses for assessment and corresponding specific outcomes from the Knowledge and Employability Social Studies 10-4 Program of Studies. Skills and Processes outcomes are clustered with Values and Attitudes outcomes and Knowledge and Understanding outcomes to provide robust opportunities for student learning.
