Action priority reflective

Journal evaluation and verbal presentation (1200 words)

In weeks 5-10 you need to implement your action plan and collect data to evidence improvement in your lifestyle for the selected area of priority over this period of time. You need to collect regular evidence of your actions throughout the period of time and present a final evaluation and reflection on your achievements. This evaluation and reflection will have a written and verbal presentation component.

Part B of your Journal Submission should include:

a) A summary of data collection that demonstrates the regularity with which it was collected (e.g. a table of weekly data; photographs to visually present actions)

b) A summary comparison of your "before" and "after" data to demonstrate the overall improvement you achieved in your lifestyle (use summary tables and graphs as well as a written statement of achievement).

c) An elaboration of the literature around the selected priority area including why it is a sustainability issue, what the implications are for the local and global community, and what individuals, local, national and global communities need to be doing to assist transition to a more sustainable lifestyle.

d) A reflection on the progress you made over the action period that includes any issues or challenges encountered, sources of support, how you feel about the results you have achieved, and the impact of your actions on your thinking about sustainability in regards to the priority area.

This summary reflection should be based on weekly reflective journal entries, which must be attached as an appendix. A verbal report of your experience will also be conducted in some format as advised by your LIC/tutor (e.g. oral presentation in class).

Purpose: Students demonstrate that they can elaborate soclo-scientific concepts relevant to understanding key environmental issues and sustainability, recognise the critical importance of global sustainability and reflect on how this impacts locally on their lifestyles and professional roles.
