Statement: 

                                                            Task description:

1) Get together with debating group, write down topic as it is worded on the task sheet.
2) Go through and record all positives and negatives for your topic. It is important to do the opposite to what you are doing so you have "ammunition" to think about for your rebuttal. 

3) Group ideas recorded into areas you feel most strongly about and select your individual argument points for your own debate.

4) Research evidence that may help to support your argument

5) Begin to draft your section of your debate.

Things to consider: Use of persuasive devises, techniques you will think about when presenting your debate, being prepared for a rebuttal statement for the speaker before you.

Geography assessment: Changing nations data analysis 15/3

“I took the data from around Buharia, Corniche. Some was from Al Majaz park and some was from Buharia mall. It was a Tuesday at 3.00 pm in the afternoon for 40 minutes and then went again on Saturday at 7.00pm for 40 minutes. We approached everyone on our side. Apart from outside one big store we approached all people regardless of age or gender. Small children we asked to talk to their parents so generally people were between  20 and 58.”

1) What is the sample size? What strategies were used to gather the data? Does this data present an accurate picture of the population in the UAE?

Was there any bias with choosing people? Time of day, day of week? Area in Sharjah? would this have impacted on your results?


2) What patterns did you notice within the data?

E.G. What countries were represented highly e.g. Pakistan maybe? Asia? Europe? What occupations are represented highly?

3) Explain your data; What are the economic, political and environmental reasons for this data?

So what are "Push and Pull" factors for each of these? This is where you will achieve highly if you are able to explain these well.

Questions to be answered tomorrow in English class. Graphs are due tomorrow!!!!
