- Students use geographical knowledge, concepts, terms and digital tools as appropriate to develop descriptions, explanations and responses that acknowledge research findings.
- Students identify and evaluate the methods or strategies related to civic participation or action.
- Students develop a range of questions about a geographical phenomenon or challenge.
