Written response: Decision-making
Summary of task
Students participated in a unit about making decisions in relation to issues and challenges that young people might face; for example, drugs, alcohol, or a friend they are worried about.
They were asked to write an evidence-based extended response in relation to a scenario.
Students were given a statement explaining the scenario and a list of suggestions to help focus their writing. They were also provided with a scaffold to help them with the structure of their paragraphs.
This assessment task relates to the focus areas: safety, alcohol and drugs, and mental health and wellbeing.
