Only 14 sleeps to go until the exam, its hard to believe another year is done and dusted. 

 

Assessment Tasks

As I do every year I have been busy developing and preparing brand new SACs and practice exams for next year. I like to get these done early as I know many of you like to get planning as soon as possible and also use up any leftover budget.  Again this year I have really focused on not making them impact the learning days of your class. Each of the reflections of practical tasks and the practical tasks themselves can easily form part of your normal teaching and learning programs as it is stated in the study design they should be. Also none of the assessment SAC sections require huge chunks of time, they are about confirming knowledge and key skills. 

 

As an overview

Unit 1 AOS 1 - Students are given the opportunity to investigate either own family's food story

Unit 1 AOS 2 - students speak about migration and the impact on Australia's food culture

Unit 3 AOS 1 - Focus is on FODMAP and how an intolerance influences mental health and the role the gut has in this

Unit 3 AOS 2 - Population group focus on food security and how it is influenced

 

Each of the AOS documents includes the assessment section, records of practical activities and reflection tasks. All are easily adaptable to suit your cohort. 

 

Unit 1, 3 and 4 are all available now, unit 2 will be available in the coming weeks once proofing and trialing has been completed. 

 

I look forward to sharing these with you and hope you enjoy delivering them to your students. 

 

KNOWLEDGE PANTRY

The knowledge pantry has been updated for the new study design. It is designed for students to access in a number of different ways - depending on your requirements. 

1. Students can prepare for key skill areas by completing the practice questions prior to learning in class

2. Use for homework as a revision task

3. Use for revision to prepare for SACs or/and examinations

 

You as the teacher are able to track the students progress and remember the students mark it themselves using my sample answers - less work for you. 

 

At only $8 per student for the entire year it is amazing value

 

To have your class setup please complete the order form with your student's name and email address so I can set up their log in. I do not contact students. 

 

Attached is the order form for the tasks, practice exams and the knowledge pantry.

 

Good luck for the exam, can't wait to see it
