You are going to demonstrate your understanding of findings of a social inquiry related to youth activism in the Pacific. You will explain and evaluate these findings by answering a focus question that you have formulated prior to this Assessment Activity.

Throughout your inquiry, you will have gathered evidence from primary and secondary sources related to your social inquiry focus question. You will have selected and processed this evidence in order to generate your findings to answer your focus question.

To explain and evaluate your findings, you should:

  • give detailed information about your findings that directly acknowledge and answer your focus question
  • examine your focus question further by making judgements. This involves:
    • making critical connections between your ideas
    • drawing well-reasoned conclusions.
  • use evidence from primary and secondary sources to develop your explanations:
    • to ensure you have valid evidence to develop your explanation, you will have recorded the details of sources used, such as the names of people interviewed and their roles, and the date and time, or the title, author, year, and place. These details will vary depending on the type of source.
