Other Work Samples for:

Ricky has demonstrated an adequate level of competence in using coordinates to represent position and describe a route. A map of the bike track has been drawn, a compass rose has been included and coordinates have been accurately labelled. Although some of the directions are confusing or inaccurate, Ricky has demonstrated the ability to use directional language to describe a route in relation to other objects. To improve, Ricky could use more coordinates when describing the route and check that directions are correct. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard midway through Stage 2.
