Help for Students

I will endeavour to help each student find at least one good source of information on their chosen person from the colonial days. Students must be able to find some reliable sources of their own from both books and websites, and synthesise the information. This skill will be taught in class. Students can compile notes in their History/Science book, maybe from the stapled centre onwards to keep the front of the exercise book free for science work we are still doing. Please remember to keep a list of the books and websites you have used which you will glue onto the back of your showbag. You must show use of multiple sources. If you used this page for example and ideas from it you would acknowledge the book. I have written an example below the information panel.
