Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Authentic activities are those that resemble real-world tasks, engaging students in applying their knowledge in practical, meaningful contexts. Constructing a map (B), finding a route on a map (C), and using resources to plan a vacation (D) are all tasks that mimic real-life applications of geography. In contrast, simply describing the difference between latitude and longitude (A) is more about recalling factual information than engaging in an authentic, real-world task.
