Decision makers

A day in the life – students A & B
What are the differences between literacy now and literacy ten years ago

Challenge
Student reports on a recent event in history
prove that the event happened in the manner most widely accepted by using valid primary and secondary eyewitness reports

Student A
I found a lot of eyewitness reports on the Internet, in fact I almost had too many
The best site was allowed people to post their experiences for others to share
Selecting some of the best, I built my report step by step, providing an almost hour-by-hour view of the event. I almost feel like I lived through it.

Student B
I really liked the reports I saw on this site, but wanted to assure that they were valid
I performed a “Whois” lookup and found out that the site was owned by a fiction writer’s club
After some more searching, and validating, I found some legitimate sites that allowed me to collect the quotes I needed

Describe
What did good work look like before
What does it have to look like now
