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.

Multistructual

Kaprice, you have done a great job with your cause and effect map. You are nearly at a relational level, however you need to show a stronger overall understanding in your conclusion. Your understanding of the effects climate change has on a polar bears habitat are particularly strong. In your conclusion you need to state your opinion, the reasons for this and relate it back to evidence to back it up. Well done.

Sarahna

Relational

Well done Sarahna. You have shown a relational level of understanding as you have shown full connections between the causes of climate change and the effects these have on the habitat of a polar bear. In your conclusion I would like to see you show a deeper understanding. Push yourself to use the word because twice. What is your claim, what is the reason for this, and relate this back to evidence.

Jess

Multistructural

Jess, your cause and effect map is at a multistructural level. You have shown clear connections as to the effects that climate change is having on the polar bears habitat. To get to a relational level you need to be able to explain what is causing climate change and how. You then need to use the word because twice in your conclusion to explain your reasons and relate it back to evidence. Your effects were excellent. Well done.

Te Whainoa
Unistructural	Well done Te Whainoa. You have got some good ideas here. I really liked how you gave a clear explanation on how climate change is affecting the polar bears ability to hunt because the ice is melting and the bears need this ice to survive. To get to multistructural level you need to think about what is causing climate change and why.

Harlem

Multistructural

Harlem, your cause and effect map is at a multistructural level. Your explanation of the effects that climate change causes shows that you have a clear understanding. Your possible causes needs to explained further for you to reach a relational level, however you are very close. Your conclusion is clear about our need to stop climate change. I would like to see you relate this claim back to your evidence. Well done Harlem.
