Context:
In our Year 10 Humanities Course, students are to research a branch of HASS, create and present our project to our peers and parents. The branch of HASS that Matthew and I are doing is ‘Economics’ and the inquiry question is ‘The impact of the Great Depression vs the impact of Coronavirus.’ We are researching the economic effects and challenges from both these times, the causes and the effects of these severe economic events and how it has and will effect the world of business.
How we will present our project:
Matthew and I will present our findings through the use of an interactive presentation. We will create stall. On the left side it will consist of a graph and short information about The Great Depression. On the right side, it will consist information and our research on the impact of the Corona-virus. In the middle there will be comparative information. We will also make the stand look good as to entice the auidence.
Capabilities:
The capabilities that will be used throughout the researching and creating stage of the project include
- Creativeness
- Effective communication
- Organisation
- Problem Solving
The capability of creativeness is essential to the project, as Matthew and I have to present our findings in an engaging matter requiring a creative thinking. Effective communication will be vital to the success of our project due to the projecting containing group work. Furthermore, organisation is also important as the project is over the course of weeks and therefore organising what work to do and when to do it will be important to reduce the majority of the work being done last minute. Lastly, problem solving will be crucial to our project as Matthew and I have to overcome the obstacles that we will face.
