First and foremost draft up you appeal letter
that your teacher made you do a Group work in Year 12
and that your HSC mark is based on the performance of other students and therefore your formal ranking has been significantly effected

ie lets say you as the No1 student get in a group with the No 14 and 21 students and they drag your ranking down to 6th
And the No. 10 student gets with No. 2 and 3 ... and ends up coming 5th
how are you going to feel ??

2. students are to work individually within a group to create a project that has been assigned

I would be insisting that the teacher explain that point
is the journal to be done as an individual or does the group hand in just ONE journal ?

The task as I see it would be solved by creating a Quiz (Multiple choice or Match the terms) for TPS in Frontpage that students could go to to test their knowledge of the subject. I presume as a Group work - one or two students would be involved in creating the questions and maybe getting some relevant graphics - the other student would paste into Frontpage and then hyperlink questions to answers - all should be involved in design of webpage - its layout and general feel - someone needs to do a storyboard ...

but I am so against Group work in Yr 12 all I would want to see atm is the marking scheme to see how much of YOUR mark can be directly effected by OTHER students.
