Activity Twelve - Journal |
Students may feel more engagement with the events they are studying if called upon to write a journal as if they were a participant in the events not a world leader or Great Person but a regular citizen, one of those men or women who served as grunts and foot soldiers, guards, cooks, nurses, seamstresses, field hands and bottle washers. Imagine you were a Marine serving on one of the first ships carrying convicts from Britain to Australia in 1788. Create a journal with 20 or more entries describing your voyage, the conditions you endured and some of the events that took place. |
