Channel Deepening The Channel Deepening unit includes an introduction, the learning focus, 5 teaching and learning activities, assessment criteria, and resources. Unit description from source: In Channel deepening students learn about the points of view of various stakeholders/interest groups about the controversial issue of the deepening of shipping channels in Port Phillip Bay. As part of a team, they research one stakeholder’s point of view and prepare a presentation for a small group comprising students who have each researched a different stakeholder's view. After considering all perspectives, they prepare a final report which explains outcomes associated with intervention in a natural system and expresses a personal view. They also reflect on how they worked in the team and how their opinions may have changed during the unit. |
