This is the information about my assessment. Could you please make sure? I have attached all the references and group presentation notes which are attached in additional file.

For the presentation
Below the question I am did presented question 3 with other student and question 1 is one student, question 2 is 1 student.

Could you please check this textbook? This is my course textbook.

Part B: Presentation Write Up

Part B task
Each individual group participant will provide a separate write up of the Project they participated in showcasing in the group presentation, which provides:
4. A description of their contribution to the group presentation process (including a summary of task allocation between group members);
5. An analysis of the community development approaches the showcased project demonstrates; the values that underpin it and the ways this project contributes to social justice through working with community.
6. A critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the project, identifying any challenges it faces and how you would work with this Project if you were engaged as a community worker to support its activities.
*Support your answer with relevant examples from the literature

Suggested structure outline (at a glance):
Individual write up 1800 words
Introduction – 150 words
Question two – 500 words
Question three – 1000 words
Conclusion – 150 words
Reference List – Group list followed by individual list
Appendix (question one) – is not included in word count

A more in-depth essay structure to help guide your paper
The word count is 1800 words. This is not a 2700 word paper, part of that allocation is taken up by the research you will do for your group presentation. There is no written hand-up on presentation day. References can appear in PowerPoint slides, but the group reference list as such will appear in their papers. More explanation below…

Introduction is 150 words. Remember that background information is not the same as an introduction. An introduction to an academic paper should tell the reader what the structure of the paper is and it should introduce your key arguments. The introduction should not leap straight into descriptive or background information, it should sign-post what the paper hopes to achieve. Hint: essay questions 2 & 3 might form part of the introduction when you are setting out what the paper will be attempting to achieve.
Example:
This paper begins with a critical analysis of the community development approaches demonstrated by [insert name of community project]. In doing this, I will argue that. Next, the paper will provide a critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the project and will also highlight challenges that the project is/has experiencing. Key arguments in this section will includeThe paper will conclude with a discussion of ways that I would work with this community drawing on the principles ofand community development approaches ofand I will argue why these approaches are well-suited to working within the [name of] community project

Question 2 is 500 words. Yes, thats right, we recommend beginning your paper with Question 2 after the introduction (explanation later). This question is worth 10 marks on the feedback sheet. We recommend keeping Question 2 short because it duplicates what you will present in class to a fairly large degree.

Question 3 is 1000 words. This question is worth 20 marks on the feedback sheet. Question 3 requires more attention because this is distinct from the presentation material. Its important to recognise that this component is key to your individual write up. When analysing the strengths and weaknesses project, first think about the past/present of the project. Then, think about its future – as a worker, how might you work with this project going forward. E.g. based on your critical analysis, knowing what you know now, if you were engaged to work in this project tomorrow, how might you go about that, and why? What principles would guide you? What might be working really well in the project that you could build on and expand? What might not be working well and how would you address that? What challenges can you identify (including formal/informal power relations) and how would you work with them?

Conclusion is 150 words. This should summarise your key points and arguments in the paper. The introduction states what the paper hopes to achieve, the conclusion states what the paper actually delivered.

Reference list. First, include the reference list from the group presentation and title this Group references. Next, under this put the reference list from your paper and title this Individual references. For individual reference lists, we will expect to see around 10 high quality references, most from community development literature. Your group reference list will be the same for all team members, and will be followed by your individual reference list for this written component.

After the reference list, please attach an appendix. The appendix will address Question 1 – it will give a very brief reflection on the group work process. This is not included in the 1800 word count. You have 1800 words to answer questions 2 & 3, as well as an introduction and conclusion. We advise answering Question 1 in the form of an appendix because it allows students to focus on answering the key questions (2 & 3) that are strongly related to the course outcomes. Because it is not part of the word count, you can reflect on the group work process in as little as one paragraph, or write a whole page if you see fit, without infringing on your scope to answer the core questions (2 & 3) which are far more integral to demonstrating your understanding of course ideas and ways of working. Please note that your final reflections on the group process must adhere to the course ethos and take an ABCD approach to highlighting what you did do, rather than what someone else possibly didnt do, and anything you have learned through the process that may have enabled you to improve your own group work skills (capacity building).
