Summative Assessment

Subject: Globalization Teachers: Mr. Ronan & Mr. ShireDate task given: 26/10/2015 Due Date: 13/11/2015

Mode of Assessment: Presentation on your chosen topic of GlobalizationDestination for completed assessment: Google Drive folder

Assessment: Criterion A Knowing and Understanding (/8 marks) Criterion B Investigating (/8 marks) Criterion C Communicating (/8 marks) Criterion D Thinking Critically (/8 marks)

Individual or Group work?: This summative assessment will require individuals to work in groups of 3/4. Tasks must be split up fairly with evidence that each individual in the group has contributed towards each facet of the presentation in which different criteria are assessed.

So everyone in the group must equally share the presentation duties. Even though you will be working in a group, assessment levels will be awarded on an individual basis. The teacher will be continually checking in on your group process to see the allocation of work. Your group should turn in a brief summary (one paragraph per person) of the work done by each person. This task is the responsibility of informal group leader to collate the information.

Break-down of tasks for assessment

Criteria TasksA: Knowing and Understanding Presentation –content and conceptsB: Investigating Research question, Action Plan, quality of

Research instruments & results and evaluation of research process

C: Communicating Presentation structure, verbal communication and bibliography

D: Thinking Critically Presentation (structure and communication) and OPVL

PURPOSE OF THE TASK:This investigation helps students understand the differing views of globalization, which is one of the objectives for this unit. It gives students the chance to research a real life topic in which they are interested, investigate the issues around this topic and think critically about the implications of both the research process and findings.The following Criteria will be assessed:

POINTS TO HELP YOU STRUCTURE YOUR RESEARCH

You should follow the guiding questions below to help you choose the topic and structure your research:

What question are you going to ask and answer in regards to globalization? What information do you need in order to answer the question? How will you find the relevant primary (to be generated by your group) and

secondary (pre-existing) information? What methods will you use to collect secondary information and primary

information (survey, interview, observation, experiment, measurement, data collection and oral history) to answer your question?

Do sources have conflicting information concerning your question? How does each source allow you to answer your question? What conclusions do you come to after analyzing and interpreting the information? What conclusions might others come to?

In your presentation you should have a summary of your research, an explanation of your method of collecting information, and the answer to your research question based on your research, and a properly cited bibliography of your sources.

You need to specify all activities you will undertake in your assessment task. Thus the first activities will deal with secondary information collection, collation and analysis. Then you will plan and write your essay.

(C): Investigation Process

Here are some questions you need to think about before you begin your investigation:

What do you need to do to answer this question? How could you break down this question into smaller more manageable

chunks/segments Where do you need to look specifically to find the information? How will your record this information (photocopies, a table, certain headings)? What five sources will you consider? How will you plan and construct this presentation (Mind-map; brainstorming;

introduction first or introduction last)? How will you record your sources (footnotes or in-text referencing; bibliography;

software to assist you)?

(d): Evaluation of the Research Process

Evaluation means that you have reflected on the research process and product. Secondly, you provide insightful and creative areas for improvement.

To evaluate your work you should keep a process journal. As you progress through the research process, you should seek to answer the following questions:

Step 1: Question Is the completed product exactly what you were assigned to do? Did you do adequate preliminary research on your topic? Did you formulate a compelling question?

Step 2: Gather Did you use sources in a variety of formats? Did you ask a professional for assistance in finding information? Did you use carefully selected keywords to search for your information? Did you evaluate the credibility and purpose of your resources? Did you use a reliable system to record your information?

Step 3: Conclude Did you adequately answer your original question or prove your

hypothesis? Did you support your thesis with authoritative sources? Did you build on your understanding of the subject? What new information did you learn or create about your topic?

Step 4: Communicate Has your work been carefully reviewed and edited? Is your work complete? Is it neat? Does it include a Title (page, slide or clip) and a Works Cited or

Bibliography page? Are your sources credited in the proper format?

Criterion C Communicating

Criterion D Thinking Critically

Part of Criterion D will be assessed by evaluating the quality of your source analysis. In Individuals & Societies, source analysis is undertaken through means of an OPVL (Origin; Purpose, Value and Limitation).

There are two documents on my weebly to help you construct the OPVLs:

1. Source evaluation form IB History – this explains the four themed structure of an OPVL

2. OPVL Handout – it provides you with examples of how to evaluate different sources such as internet articles, statistics and interviews

You will need to construct OPVLs on a maximum of five sources preferably from different forms of media.

Criteria

Criterion A Knowing and Understanding

Step 5: Evaluate Would you be proud for anyone to view your work? Which of the previous steps did you do best? What have you learned from this process? How can you improve next time?
