SOCIAL STUDIES Explaining Strategies As can be seen in the five questions, there are mainly two types of Strategies questions that you can broadly categorise all Strategies SRQs into: 1. “Broad”-type Strategies question: See Questions 1, 2, and 4. (No stakeholder mentioned, strategies can be implemented from POV of anyone, e.g. government, community, corporations, individuals) 2. “Specific”-type Strategies question: See Questions 3 and 5. (Specific stakeholder mentioned e.g. community, ordinary Singaporeans, so strategy must be specific to the context and constraints of that stakeholder) Always remember to identify if the Strategies question is a “Broad” or “Specific” one, and if it’s a “Specific” one, remember to think from the POV of that stakeholder! In each Strategies question, you are required to write 2 PEEL paragraphs according to this LORMS: L1: Describes the topic (1m) L2: Identifies/describes strategies (2-4m) Award 2m for identifying one strategy and 3m for identifying two strategies. Award 3m for describing one strategy and 4m for describing two strategies. L3: Explains strategies (5-7m) Award 5-6m for explaining one strategy. Award 6-7m for explaining two strategies. Prioritise quality over quantity as with all other SRQs. One strong PEEL paragraph will earn you up to 6 marks already! For each PEEL paragraph, include the 5W1H! You may consider the questions below: 1. Point: Who to implement? What to implement? Why implement? (IN BRIEF) 2. Examples: Who to implement? What to implement? When to implement? Where to implement? How to implement? (IN DETAIL) 3. Explanation: Why implement? (IN DETAIL) 4. Link MORE , FREE RESOURCES?!?!?!?!? https://t.me/zivstory

SOCIAL STUDIES Explaining Strategies We refer back to Question 1. In your opinion, what can be done to help reduce social isolation among the elderly in Singapore? Explain your answer with reference to two ways. Let’s model two PEEL paragraphs using 5W1H for Question 1! Point One strategy is that schools in Singapore (Who?) could implement community engagement programmes (What?) to encourage intergenerational bonding (Why?). Examples For example, schools in Singapore can pair up with a nearby voluntary welfare organisation (Who?) to organise a buddy programme (What?). In this buddy programme, the elderly will be paired with a student buddy. (How?) Thereafter, these pairs can engage in various activities together, such as gardening, cooking classes, or even technology workshops where the elderly learn to use smartphones and social media. (How?) Explanation As such, the regular interaction between the elderly and the young will make them feel less isolated and more valued (EX 1) leading to the fostering of relationships (EX 2) which provides them with a sense of belonging (ExX3) With these positive feelings, the elderly are more inclined to participate in more activities or interact with others (EX 4). Link Ultimately, feelings of loneliness and cases of isolation can be reduced. Point Another strategy is that community centres (Who?) can hold social activities (What?) to promote interactions among the elderly themselves (Why?). Examples For example, these centres (Who?) can hold various activities such as exercise classes, arts and crafts, and social gatherings. (How?) These hubs (Where?) can also host regular events like movie nights, festive celebrations, or health workshops (How?) on a monthly basis (When?).
