Content descriptor propose actions or responses to an issue or challenge that consider possible effects of actions

Elaborations

• • Elaboration participating in cooperative strategies that enable decision-making about roles and responsibilities in relation to an issue that may be of concern to the students (for example, waste management in their school or protecting a habitat for an endangered species) and identifying resources needed to support the actions and likely outcomes
• • Elaboration forecasting a probable future and a preferred future relating to an environmental, local government or cultural issue; for example, developing a future scenario of what oceans will be like if humans continue to allow waste plastic to enter waterways, and a preferred scenario of what oceans would be like if plastics were to be replaced by degradable materials
• • Elaboration reflecting on personal behaviours and identifying attitudes that may affect aspects of the environment at a local or global level; for example, pouring paints down the sink, using products sourced from cleared rainforests and proposing awareness-raising strategies to reduce impacts on the environment
• • Elaboration proposing possible actions that could be taken to address an issue (for example, improving the management of waste in the school, choosing products not made from endangered species or their habitats) and identifying resources needed to support the actions and likely outcomes (for example, composting lunch waste and using it on the school garden, making socially responsible decisions)
