=== T he following is a summary of the academic language required of our students for achievement standards. You will see that even at Level 1 our students need to be able to explain, justify arguments and integrate their subject knowledge with resource material.

====Another resource in the Building Conceptual Understanding Series titled "**Taking Part in Economic Communities**" was released in mid-November. Copies should be in your schools. This financial literacy resource has been written for curriculum levels 2-5 (up to year 10) so should have useful application to junior Business Studies programmes, as well as ideas for Level 1 Accounting. The file is too large to download onto this wiki. You can access a digital copy of this booklet by clicking on the Social Sciences Online link on the right, and clicking on the title in the bottom right hand corner of the page. ====
