The Process
In order to complete your task well, you have to do the following:
- Start
off by going to the NE Gallery, going to the library and surfing the net
to find out more about what the contributions of the Singapore government
are.
- Refer
to the Social Studies Book 3, Ch 2 and 3 closely to have an idea of the
topics you can cover about Singapore.
- Find
textual and pictorial sources about the contributions and other issues
surrounding the Singapore government. These can be in the form of quotes,
cartoons, pictures, graphs and many others. If you are taking textual
sources, make sure that it is less than 120 words.
- For
each source you have taken, make sure you include the website address or
title and author of the book.
- Ask
simple questions, requiring people to interpret the sources e.g. What do
you think the source tells you about…?
- Make
sure you have an answer for all the questions you pose. Include these
answers in the booklet you are submitting.
- Repeat
steps 3-6, this time round focusing on an external event that happened
beyond Singapore.
- Once
you have completed your project, remember to revisit the project and check
for any errors (content and language).
- Ensure
that your work is original and not plagiarized.
- Be sure
to go through the 'evaluation' segment and be clear about what is expected
from you.
In developing your project, take note of this:
- For
each component – Singapore and an eternal event, you need to find a
minimum of 5 textual and 5 pictorial sources each.
- Your
assignment is due on the 2nd week of Term 2.
- The
marks for this assignment will contribute towards your end of year marks.
