Other Work Samples for:

Ashley's diagram clearly reflects the underlying principles of food availability and distribution. He/she has identified and discussed a range of factors that influence food choices and eating habits (for example, technology, transportation, storage, land availability, wealth and education). In the discussion of developing countries he/she has analysed a range of factors influencing food availability; however, the discussion is limited in the area of societal factors and some discussion of statistics is repetitive and not relevant to the question. Ashley has demonstrated a high level of competence in communication skills, including use of appropriate terminology. To improve, Ashley could have included some critical analysis of the impact of food availability on the individual, society and the environment. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard.
