Social and Community Studies - Science and Technology (eSafety) unit - Exploring viewpoints

Part of a set of resources created for a senior Social & Community studies class in Australia (QCAA syllabus). The other resources are also available in my store - lrigb4. Designed for use in 70 minute lessons.

This lesson was designed to assist students to write a paragraph for their upcoming assessment which shows a range of viewpoints about identity theft / financial fraud (e.g. victim, victim’s family, scammer, Australian police, Australian government). It includes some recommended content to be incorporated into this paragraph (which students work out how to incorporate into a TEEL structure).It includes a review of Criteria 2.2 which is entirely assessed in this paragraph. This is followed by an explanation of where to find viewpoints.To ensure students get off to a good start, there is advice about how to plan and write a clear topic sentence for their paragraph. The lesson is broken up by a brain break video and then students are to complete their paragraph. There is also information about the next paragraph students are to write (and a homework task).
