Task overview:
Each assessment in this unit represents a step in the process of completing an academic essay, so this first assessment covers Step 1, reflecting on what you know about the topic and what aspect of the task you will focus on.
This assessment will help you to consider what you know already about sustainability, and how it impacts all of our lives. This will help you decide on one of five scenarios that are available to write about and begin to develop your ideas for your Assessment 4.
You can write in first person (e.g. I, me, my) for this learning reflection, as you are expected to reflect and write on your own thoughts and views. However, you must use full sentences, co
ect paragraphing, grammar and punctuation.
No research
eferencing required- we want to know your own thinking on the questions below.

Q3. Decide on the scope for your chosen scenario (e.g. will you na
ow it down to a particular place, organisation or particular product?) and describe some of the different sustainability concerns that you think need to be considered under each of the three dimensions (environmental, social and economic) for the scope you have chosen.
