Ensuring the soundness of techniques used, you are expected to:

 understand and appreciate many things happening in school, the community and the
world;

 share these experiences with others.

These two objectives are usually achieved by engaging in systematic and well-planned thinking
within small groups. Thus, the “soundness” of the techniques used depends on:

 how appropriately were the "text” selected from various sources;

 how carefully were the ‘texts’ investigated using English language skills; and

 how thoughtfully were the findings selected” .
