The WJEC provides three different topics and as a department, we decide on one. Some previous topics include:
Boxing: a sport for everyone?
Should the voting age be lowered to 16 in Wales?
Welsh tourism
Exotic pets
Should mobile phones be allowed in school?
Graffiti - is it art?
Group sizes will be three wherever possible. Your teacher will assign groups within the same class, and choose these groups considering a number of factors. Your discussion should last at least ten minutes.
Your teacher will use this criteria to assess your discussion:
Tips:
Do not script your discussion. Your teacher will be assessing the authentication of your interactions.
Conduct as much research about your topic as possible. Remember, the purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate your research on a certain topic.
Explore a variety of research sources, for example search the web; reading newspapers / magazines / reference books / leaflets; listening to television programmes and asking relevant people.
Practise discussing different topics with your friends/ families.
Your group is allowed to use an A3 sheet of notes. Use this resource for facts, statistics, key vocabulary, connective and sentence starters.
