US 22749 - V7 - EAP L4 - Write Text Under Test Conditions - Climate Change
This fully editable resource is designed to scaffold students through Unit Standard 22449 Write a text under test conditions in English for an academic purpose – version 7. Students read resource material (all provided in this resource of course) about climate change, then, under test conditions, write an essay in response to a related research question.
PLEASE NOTE, if you are using our resources to complete the suite of three EAP standards for students' UE literacy, note that we deliberately use the same texts across all three. This means, you should have students complete the standards in this order:
- Unit Standard 22751 (Do this first because texts must be unseen for this standard.), then
- Unit Standard 22750 (Use of our texts is optional here.), and finally
- Unit Standard 22749 (This one. Students should be familiar with the texts for this).
(Easy to remember - reverse numerical order. )

⭐ Teacher guidelines to help you prepare for and run this assessment.
⭐ A coversheet to attach to students' completed scripts. This is to help you with marking and moderation.

Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
- Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
- Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
- Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
