Famous Figures of Federation and the DVD (keywords)


Students will be viewing the following DVD in three parts and using keywords to take notes. Keywords have been a major focus across the grade 5/6 units this year to aid students in note taking and to avoid plagarism.


All the posters and brochures about the pluses, minuses and interesting facts about "federation " are in and being assessed. Well done!  Next activity in the learning sequence  is to create your own ICT product, PhotoStory, Power Point or animation about one of the historical figures listed below or you may negotiate one of your own as longs as you can show their links to the process of federation. On Thursday students will be shown how to make a PhotoStory. Students will also make a placemat plan looking at their chosen person in terms of the Keys to Success: persistence, resilience, getting along, confidence and organisation and will construct a timeline. The placemat is due in Monday the 30th June. Then the ICT aspect will become the major focus.
