Talk:Life Skills Development/Unit Four/Consumerism

Group 4 Review

POSITIVES

 * Generally good job done by the group as the template was faithfully followed showing good direction through the structure and planning.
 * There are good activities for the Unit
 * Keep it up!

AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
INTRODUCTION


 * Regarding the INTRODUCTION, it was felt that there was not enough matter to give us an overview /rationale of the unit.

OBJECTIVES
 * Concerning OBJECTIVES, they are specific and precise but Objective No. 2 could be rephrased, possible by linking the two ideas.
 * We also had a problem with the last Objective with the use of the word "appropriate". The group could consider on the following line: " to examine the objectivity of information in the press...."

CONTENT


 * The introductory statement at the first sub-topic could have been slightly expanded for more visibility.
 * The Consumer Guidelines could have come immediately after the Introductory statement.
 * The activity no.1 could have been converted into a Pre-Knowledge Activity

SUMMARY

The summary focuses on on part of the sub-topic (Insurance) when it should have reflected the whole topic

ASSESSMENT


 * The formulation of the question rubric needs to be revised

GENERAL REMARKS


 * The Group felt the there needs to be an input on Credit Unions including their relative advantanges and disadvantages.
 * There is a need to revisit the grammar and spelling.

Reviewed by GROUP TWO.

Cheers.
