Today's task is to flesh out the detail on your case studies.
Below is a prime example of a good case study to use for your theme. You need to complete the following:
1. Follow the links and gather as much information as you can regarding the case study - DO NOT cut and paste.
2. Create a mind map highlighting the key pieces of information regarding your case study.
3. Summarise the importance of your case study
4. Look at your 4 prompt questions and write a paragraph in response to the questions using your case study to fully explore the questions.

REMEMBER to pay attention to the sources of your information - consider that it may be bias.
REMEMBER the examiner is not looking for you to agree with everything, they want you to challenge perspectives and viewpoints.
