Today...

ALL students will write their summary/conclusion to their investigation. This is the step where you are answering the research question(s) based on the data you collected during your investigation. 

You should use your notes and sources as evidence to support your conclusion (your response to the research question(s)).  

This summary should be approximately 2-3 paragraphs (this is NOT an essay). 
  • Paragraph 1: Answer your research question. Provide supporting evidence. If you do NOT have enough evidence to support this, explain why that is (difficulty finding resources, procrastination, etc.). Be HONEST in your response to how well you can confidently answer the research question.
  • Paragraph 2: Explain how Korea's level of economic disparity compares to another country (country comparison).
  • Optional Paragraph 3: Any additional thoughts you have about Korea's economic disparity (your own ideas, concerns, opinions, further questions about this issue now that you've finished this investigation, etc.)

Before you begin writing your summary, please complete the pre-writing part and pull out the really important facts, quotes, etc. that you want to use as evidence to help support. This way you will be sure to include it in your summary.

You will screenshot your summary and upload it to Managebac as an image file prior to leaving class today.

While you are working on this... I will be calling each of you out individually to discuss your overall Level of Achievement for this year to help you better understand what score you need to strive for for maintaining or achieving the highest level you can for this course this year.

Grade 7 students,

Today you will continue working on the Global Issues Photo Essay you started on a couple of Fridays ago.  This should be a relatively easy summative task for you to complete considering that your persuasive essays for your selected global issue you investigated has been completed.  

A reminder that your photo essay should be limited in the amount of text each slide contains. And no more than 10 image slides. The images you select should help tell the story and convince the viewer that your global issue is a bid deal worth attention and compel the viewer to want to do something to help solve this global issue.  

Students will present their photo essays to the class on either June 3rd or June 7th. For this, you will stand and present this photo essay to your classmates by sharing the images and "telling" the story of this global issue. You will not be allowed to read off of a script or notes. You will persuade your classmates that this is an important issue that the world should be concerned about and should address. You will use the power of images to persuade them to be concerned.

Good luck and please refer to the information below for more details about this.

You will develop a photo essay presentation that you will present to your class on either June 3rd or June 7th. This will be the final summative project for this course this year.
