All Year 10 Social Studies students are required to complete a research assignment for their Term One 20th Century History Topic.

The task for students in 10BA was:

"You are a news reporter for a magazine of your choosing. You are to research, write and present a news magazine report on a significant battle of World War II wch caused challenges to people"

Each report required:

      1. An Article about the background and reasons for the event
      2. An Article reporting from the location about the event
      3. An article about the leaders involved
      4. And an article about new innovations wch impacted the event

Ts task was assessed using SOLO Taxonomy, wch has proven very helpful for our students by challenging them to tnk about how they can move their tnking and learning to a gher level.
