Briefly describe what I would like my future to be regarding employment, and any potential barriers to fulfilling that desire.
I SHOULD:
Go to YouTube and look up ‘Nigeria struggles to deliver good education’ (2:24) and use the facts and figures from this in my diary entry.
I COULD:
Imagine I have an Irish pen pal my own age who has told me about their education, and include an extra paragraph comparing their experiences with mine.
Self-Assessment
Re-read what you have written and then write down two things you think you did well and one thing you think you could improve on.
Review the success criteria again to make sure you have met all the requirements. Take into account your own self-assessment notes and make any changes you think are needed. When you are happy, you can prepare to show your work to the class.
