Describe a social action undertaken to support or challenge a system
Describe a social action undertaken to support or challenge a system
This standard is about students actually doing a social action — something real they plan and carry out themselves — that either supports or pushes back against a system (like a local government system, a school system, or an environmental system). After doing the action, students write a report describing what they did, why they did it, and what difference it made. It is assessed internally by your school, meaning there is no external exam for this one.
Describe what your social action was and what it was trying to achieve. Explain how it supported or challenged a specific system. Include some relevant evidence (like photos or emails) in your description.
Do everything for Achieved, plus explain the impacts your action had on the system — both positive and negative effects on people or places. Back this up with evidence.
Do everything for Merit, plus judge how suitable or effective your social action actually was — what worked, what didn't, and how well it matched your original aim. Use evidence throughout to build your argument.
