LEARNING EXPERIENCES ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES Students are to form small groups and undertake an in-class inquiry task into either Bangladesh or Sub-Saharan Africa. They are to research what the problems in these regions are, what the processes causing the issues, what are the implications on wellbeing and what is being done. Provide students with resources relevant to the areas. CSIRO runs a program in Africa and AusAid in Bangladesh. Students are to present their findings in a class discussion.
