Question 1 Report
A researcher at a coastal centre is preparing a two-page information sheet about safe rock-pool visits. It will be given to families at the centre entrance. The sheet needs a title, a safety warning, an image showing suitable footwear, a list of items to take and a contact email. The researcher has been told that some visitors will read it on a phone, while others will use a printed copy. Long paragraphs from the original report must be changed into concise visitor-friendly text. The document should not imply that every rock pool is safe at every tide.
(a) Create a suitable structure for the first page of the information sheet. [3]
(b) Use two ways to make the safety warning more noticeable than the general advice. [2]
(c) Explain why a bulleted list is suitable for the equipment visitors should take. [1]
Answer Details
(a) Page 1 should begin with a clear relevant title, followed by short introductory text explaining the purpose of safe rock-pool visits. Group the safety warning, suitable-footwear image and key information in a logical order so visitors encounter the important safety message early. The wording should not imply that all rock pools are safe at every tide. [3]
(b) Put the safety warning in a bordered or shaded text box and use a bold warning heading. Other acceptable methods include a larger warning heading, placing it near the top, and leaving white space around it. Any two methods gain credit. [2]
(c) A bulleted list makes each item easy to scan, allowing visitors to check equipment quickly. [1]
