Planning for this unit is captured in a Wiki to allow for collaboration across the team.

A Wiki is used to allow students to edit in sub-pages and adding their learning goals for the unit.

The IFrame provides the Telstra Advertisement used for engagement to be revisited by students where/when required.

A Wiki is used to allow for student collaboration and co-creation of new knowledge. Students are asked to record key findings and evidence from different sources, and use this collective information to form their own opinion.

A page is added to the Wiki for the assessment rubric for this activity. This is for students to access this rubric throughout the completion of this activity and use it for self and peer-assessment before submitting their response.

A Blog provides a place for learning reflection on the activity.
