Honestly, I didn't feel that it was too rushed as students say but I would like to have more lessons specifically to learn how to compile an essay formally and techniques we could use to attain higher marks

i think that the mini deadlines were really helpful, I kept me organised throughout the assessment. I also think that maybe a little more research time in class would have been helpful. I also think that the rubric was quite helpful as we knew what we had to do and it made things a lot easier

I think we need more research time, however the mini deadlines were very helpful and helped me stay on task. I think it would be great if we could also have time to work individually in class, as we have been. However, I didn't really think our group discussions and activities were helpful, as they were just time consuming. However, talking to the partners we sit beside and asking for feedback was helpful.

I think that the unit felt a bit short and rushed. It was one of the most complicated unit in my opinion and we didn't have enough time to research and gather enough information that we hoped.

I think that we needed more time to research and write our essay, since we missed many classes in between and had a lot of other assignments and tests. However, something that worked was the mini deadlines because it helped us stay on topic and be more organised. This unit was quite interesting, but complicated as well. A lot of research needed to be done in order to find the different perspectives.

I would like to explore India in this unit, since it's a developing country and has a lot of poverty.

I found this unit particularly interesting, as the environment is something that everyone talks about, but we really don't go into much detail. I really liked the idea of mini deadlines because it helped me organise my time better. To improve I think that we should get more time to research in our next topic, as then we can analyse our perspectives in more depth.

I think that I am nervous and excited for our debate, as I am a little scared of public speaking, but I am excited for the debate, and the discussions we will be having. I want to explore, how the poverty gaps in different countries came about. I am also interested in how the economy evolved throughout the 20th century and how different countries came to be where they are today

I think the unit was interesting and had some good ideas but it felt a bit rushed. While I learned things, a lot of it I may of known before. What I did learn was useful for the assessment.

I think the mini deadlines were useful as an indicator on when things needed to be done. It gave me an idea if I was ahead or behind. The preparation was also very good as the planning sheets were enough. It helped me organize myself so when it came to writing the essay, it was relatively quick.

Something that really helped me throughout this assessment were the mini deadlines and the class time for our research. However, I feel like something that could help me in the future is more time to draft and fix my essay, also maybe we could have a draft 1 that the teacher can read through and give us advice

# data[].attributes.body
Overall I think that the entire process of researching our topics and writing the essay went very smooth. We were giving enough time to research our topics in class and at home and were given a considerable amount of time to complete the essay. I think the extension for time was really useful and gave us the perfect amount of time to complete the task. In the future it would be very help full if we could have a rubric to work off instead of a checklist. The checklist was still very help full but maybe a full rubric would be even more helpful.

Something I liked about this unit is how we were given alot of time to work in class on the planning of the essay. Having a very detailed planning document did help alot and it made it really easy to write the essay efficiently which then gave us alot of time to review and refine the essay. I also think that the activites we did throughout the unit did help such as the mini reflections did help us th write our essays efficiently. For the upcoming unit, I like the idea of a debate because it will expose us to different types of communication and help us with confidence when public speaking.

I would say that this unit was okay for me, although personally it wasn't something that really peaked my interest (but that's just personal preference). The mini deadlines were somewhat helpful for me, but since a lot of other big projects would start coming up, I found it slightly stressful to keep up with them constantly. The actual writing of the essay wasn't too bad, I do prefer to do individual work rather than debates since I find it hard to try and get my ideas out in large groups where everybody is arguing loudly. I find debates more stressful than essays too due to how I have so many people essentially viewing my thoughts on a subject matter as opposed to how in essays I just have to write. Another point would be that I write better than I speak and I also tend to zone out easily. As for the upcoming unit topic, I think it will be a bit more interesting for me than the environment topic was.

In terms of the assessment, I liked the mini deadlines because it helped me stay on track. I would have liked to be given more time to research and I would have liked to talk to my peers more to clarify my ideas. I thought the examples were helpful and I would like to be given more. Overall, this unit was informative and I learnt a lot. In preparation for the next unit assessment, I think doing practice debates will help us strengthen our skills.

I think the mini deadlines were helpful to keep me on track. I also liked how the example report included comments to indicate what exactly we needed to include. However, I would have liked more examples of previous work. The checklist was also quite useful as I feel that often the rubric can be quite difficult to comprehend and use when writing our report.

I really liked how we had mini deadlines for each lesson. It helped us stay on task, keep track and manage to complete the task within the given time. I think it would help if we got more explanations on where to find the 'definitions' to the vocab we need to use. The example work was extremely helpful to give us insight on what the expectations were or what we are supposed to talk about/how we should do that.

I think that the environment unit was quite interesting and I liked the freedom that we had choosing what topic we wanted to talk about.

During the duration of writing the essay I think that we could all use more time to collect research so when writing the essay it'll be easier for us to write. I think that the mini deadlines were quite helpful as they kept me on track and I would know when I was falling behind.

I think that the mini deadlines were quite helpful, as it made me strive to complete a certain amount of work for every lesson, to make sure I was progressing and meeting my goals every class. I also think that the checklist that was given to us was quite helpful, as it gave me a simple guide to what each of the sections of my essay should have, and helped me make sure that I was ticking all of the points and including all of the information and analysis that I needed to in each part. I think that I am more comfortable with doing things such as essays and written reports as it allows me to get my point across without actually having to talk in front of a small or big group of people, which is why I think that the debate might be a little more challenging for me, and will push me out of my comfort zone. For the next unit, I would like to work on developing my debating skills, things like formulating an argument and also learning how to effectively rebut points given to me, in order to become more confident in vocalising my stance in front of a group of people.

# data[].attributes.body
This unit was relatively interesting considering that we actually got to choose our main topic from a larger variety of options. However, while I think the mini deadlines did sort of help me organise myself, it also feels kind of forced so I don't feel as motivated to actually do the work at that time. The example work was actually really helpful as it allowed us to sort of see the format and what the overall expectations were for the assignment.

I think that the environment unit was quite interesting and informative. In the next unit I would like to do more group work but this unit was overall decent. 7.5
