Term 2 SOLO Assessment: Ecology Topic

 Learning Intention: We are learning to use a cause and effect map to analyse an environmental issue causing harm to a habitat.



Simon
Unistructural

Simon, your cause and effect map is at a unistructural level. You have shown a strong understanding of the effects climate change has on a polar bear’s habitat, however your causes need further explanation. You have shown connections, however there are signficant aspects of your map that need further explanation. Your conclusion needs to cover your overall thoughts on the cause and effects of climate change. Well done on your diligent work ethic Simon.
