Tasks

Using the information provided by the links on the left, complete all of the three tasks.

Task 1:

2 - 3 slides - ‘Why it makes sense to only have one child.’ (10 marks)

Design a slide to be used as part of an advertising campaign by the Chinese government. The slide explains why Chinese families should have only one child. The slide will be shown on Chinese TV, please use downloaded images from websites, animation and textboxes to build a strong and convincing case.

Task 2:

2 – 3 slides - ‘The benefits of China’s one-child policy.’ (10 marks)

The second slide has also been requested by the Chinese government. This identifies the benefits to the country of having introduced the one-child policy. Adopt a similar approach to that used when you compiled the previous slide. Any statements made need to be backed up by statistics in order to be effective.

Task 3:

2 - 3 slides- ‘China’s one child policy is a failure.’ (10 marks)

You are part of a human rights campaign group that is opposed to China’s one-child policy. Design a slide that is critical of the policy. Each point made needs to be written as a short news paper article with an eye-catching bold type heading, followed by a short paragraph providing the detail together with the source of the report. This slide will be used by your organisation to demonstrate its opposition to the policy. Remember to make your slide as eye-catching and thought provoking as possible.

Task 4:

2-3 slides – ‘A summary of the arguments for and against and the balance of evidence’

You have been asked by the BBC to review the policy in a balanced way so that both sides of the argument are heard. Design a few slides to make your conclusions.
