Time lines Progressing well...a focus for this week June 8-12th

The emphasis is obviously on sourcing accurate and reliable information from the web and from books and magazines, on ordering events in time, using a scale, adding appropriate illustrations and of course choosing the most interesting and important landmarks in their chosen person's life time. John Batman was not as squeaky clean as I believed! Students had to make a lot of decisions about layout, size of timelines, choice of symbols or illustrations, and check inconsistencies in the information available from both primary and secondary sources.

Gosh...how tall is this girl!

Collecting information

Well on her way...
