About This Assessment
The fourth and final project provides students with the opportunity to choose a question, issue, or theme from this scheme of work to explore in depth with a partner or in a group and then present to the class or larger school community. For this project, you might ask students to focus on their school community, neighbourhood, borough, or allow each pair or group to choose the scope of their project.
