Assessment Hints:
READ the assessment tasks very carefully.
Remember that 'presenting' means presenting your processed info into annotated maps, annotated photos, diagrams, graphs etc.  It is NOT like history where 'presenting' means writing a big long report.

Your assessment has a checklist to follow.  Here it is again to remind you of what to include in your final assessment. 
  • This assessment booklet
  • Your research plan
  • The raw data collected on the field trip
  •  The presentation of your data
  • Your ‘findings’ from the data that incorporate geographic concepts
  • Your conclusion
  •  Your evaluation
  • Your reflective journal
