Thursday June 20th 6:30 - 8:00

What is it? A chance for you to investigate a person from Australia's past who made a significant contribution to our country. You will complete a written report, set up a display and become your character for an evening.

What do I have to do? 7. Some ideas to include in your centre are pictures, posters, pamphlets, artifacts, tools of his/her trade or occupation, fact sheet, etc.
 * 1) Select a person to investigate
 * 2) Collect resources and draw up a data chart or some other way to record your findings
 * 3) Complete the research, locating the information as discussed in class. Read all you can about your person in books or on the internet etc. Watch films and videos about them. Find as many pictures as you can to show what the person looks like
 * 4) Complete a bibliography of books and websites (this will be discussed further in class)
 * 5) Write ten open ended questions (this will be discussed further in class)
 * 6) Design your Learning Centre. The centre may be made from large boxes or it may be set up on a table. You can also create an ebook or prezi from your collated information. Remember that everyone is required to create some form of model /diorama.

On Thursday June 20th you will be presenting your learning centre at our Night of the Notables' evening, held here at the school. You will need to set up your display at school during the day and then arrive at school that evening ready to present your display to your family and friends. Be prepared to answer questions about your famous person, when you are interviewed by people. We encourage all students to come dressed as their chosen character!!!
