Jamie has adequately completed the table with accurate information, which demonstrates a sound knowledge of the demographic characteristics of communities. To achieve a higher level, data on age structure and ethnic composition needs to be presented consistently to allow for meaningful comparisons. Care should be taken to present data accurately, eg percentages. The synthesis is weak as only one criterion is used for the comparison (which actually is not drawn from the data). However data has been selected and used to come up with a statement, and a weak conclusion. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade C standard.
