Commentary:
The pictures nominated most for Question 1 were pictures 1, 4 and 9.
The pictures nominated as least suitable (Question 3) were pictures
8 (at both year levels) and 6 (year 8 only). About 15 percent more year
8 than year 4 students gave justifications for their choices that were
judged to be ‘strong’ justifications.
