Task 1
//Due Date: Friday 7th October 2011// You have chosen your groups of three to four (3-4) for your video presentation - you will work with these people for Task 2 __only.__ Some important points concerning your first task:
 * Your chosen your groups of three to four (3-4) are for your video presentation - you will work with these people for Task 2 __only__
 * **Task 1** is an individual assignment.
 * You can submit **Task 1** in several ways, primarily written or digitally.
 * I would advise you choose to submit your **Task 1** in a way that you feel you can best present your information.
 * Examples of digital assessments could be: podcasts, powerpoints, wikispaces or a website - WMN can assist you if you choose any of these options.
 * Written assessments must be typed up on a word processor. No handwritten assessments will be accepted.

My suggestions for approaching this task are as follows:
 * Task 1** asks you to investigate your chosen societal influence and look at its impact on yourself and others.
 * Investigate your chosen societal influence: what is it, why does it occur, where did orginate from, its direct influence on the Rugby World Cup (RWC)
 * Look at how that influence impacts on **you** - consider your own opinions about the RWC2011, your feelings towards that influence etc.
 * Look at how that influence impacts on **others** - you need to consider three (3) groups of others (i.e. could be family, friends, taxpayers, government officials, NZ Economy etc)

Some important points concerning your first task:
 * Task 2** asks you to work collaboratively (in your chosen groups) to devise a video presentation that presents how your chosen societal influence impacts on self and others.
 * Use everyone's information from their Task 1 to help you devise a plan.
 * Ensure everyone in your group plays an active role in planning and producing your video presentation as you will be completing an evaluation based around your participation and contribution.
 * Your video can be presented in whatever way you deem acceptable (i.e. news report, advertisement, press release) - must suit the societal influence you are working on.

> NO! These groups are only for when you come together to make your video presentation. You must complete Task 1 __**individually**__. > You can look on the official RWC2011 website, NZHerald website, and we will be going to the computer rooms for the final two (2) weeks of Term 3. It is your responsibility to find information in your own time to ensure you meet the task deadlines. > You can start Task 2 whenever you like, however, my suggestion is that you get the bulk of Task 1 completed first to avoid the temptation to copy anyones work, and also to ensure you do not miss the deadline for the assessment (Friday Week 10). > Post any questions in the discussion tab, that means I can answer your question and it helps for clarity for others. > Lucky I have made a verbal tutorial...follow the link []
 * FAQ:**
 * **Do we work together (in our groups) for Task 1?**
 * **How are we going to find the information for Task 1?**
 * **When should we start Task 2?**
 * **I still have questions...**
 * **I can't read.**
