Extremely involved activity. Excellent opportunity for interpreting data and using individual research to complete Briefing activity. Superb opportunity for pupils to demonstrate advanced ICT skills, while the choice of activity undertaken by the pupils takes account of differentiation in terms of pupils' various technical abilities.
