For Grade 10 coursework…
Make sure your introduction has a strong map, showing the location and background of East Coast using Borders, Orientation, Title and Scale. You need to make sure your sentences relate back to the research question e.g Should Pulau Ubin be developed or conserved? Is Ubin attractive and valuable? Answer the question and justify it, making sure to be detailed. You need to have primary and secondary resources, including your own investigation data and other websites.
For the method, include photos of your workbook and the ways you recorded data about the place. e.g. a photo of the Ubin perception profiles, field sketches and questionnaires.
Data and Analysis is worth 24 marks, so you need to focus most on this section. Your choropleth map also goes into this section. Present your data within your writing (analysis) of what you could do to improve, why it was not reliable and a story like flow of what this means etc. Make connections to different data points and make conclusions.
The evaluation is also important. Don’t leave this to the last minute and rush it. At the end of the East Coast coursework day, stay focused and take good notes based on what the teacher and other students say. This, as all the sections, also needs to go back to the research question. Don’t just talk about the field trip itself and the problems you faced, go more in depth.
