The Australian Gold Rush

Task

You will write either a detailed journal of your days at the diggings, or a series of detailed letters home to your family telling them about your life on the goldfields. You must include a great deal of information and detail from your research. You may include drawings, maps or other things with your written project. You will make a presentation to the class, showing your journal or letters, reading some sections and talking about the gold rush. You will answer questions people ask after your talk.

 

Process
Evaluation

You will also be evaluated in class on how well you can form questions to guide an investigation about the Australian Gold Rush.
