1500 word assignment

On the 'pages' section of this blog you will find the questions and support for your 1500 word assignment. On each question there will be a suggestion of which level this is, advice as to what you might think about as well as ways in which you can extend your learning in order for this to become a higher level answer.
The questions are all philosophical questions and we will be looking for pupils to use 'Higher Order Thinking' Skills as evidenced by Bloom's Taxonomy.


Some pages have exmples of 'Rubrics' Which are planning type sheet sthat many of the pupils have used for example here is a rubric on the question about learning from history


You might want to look at these question stems to start talking about the topics and to help with your  planning.

  2. Hi Seb, 'Is Life a postcode lottery?' is one of the hardest questions because you have been given no guidance. All of the questions are philosophical and need you to think as well as give your considered opinion and balanced arguments. It is a question that allows your thinking to go in lots of different directions - is this the question you are thinking of doing? Mrs H

  7. Hi Courtney, first of all don't worry! Do you know if your presentation is Tues or Wednesday? Go to reception in the morning and there will be a list.
    In your interview you will need to talk about some of the things you have done this year linked to the PLTS. For example were you a teamworker when you did the BP oil spill work? What role did you play? Who did you work with?
    Try to jot down a few ideas or make a powerpoint and put it onto a memory stick if you can. If you are really worried come to my office before school tomorrow and I will help you, Mrs Hewitt
