Introduction
Hello Year 3's!
As you are well aware, Hunter Johnson, my Geographer friend, has asked you to help him create pages relating to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Indonesia for his encyclopedia. We have already worked hard using our inquiry skills to create our encyclopedia pages for Papua New Guinea, and now it's time to complete our inquiry on Australia's neighbouring country Timor-Leste!
Task
You will need to visit the sites listed in the Process Page to conduct your inquiry about Timor-Leste's natural and human characteristics as well as how they are similar and different to Australia's natural and human characteristics. You have already decided as a class what aspects of the natural and human characteristics you will include in your encyclopedia pages as a minimum. This list is up on your classroom board so refer to it regularly as you complete this WebQuest!
You must fill out two Venn Diagrams (a template will be provided for you on Google Docs) as part of your inquiry. One showing the similarities and differences between Timor-Leste and Australia's natural characteristics and the second showing similarities and differences between Timor-Leste and Australia's human characteristics.
You must then use your Venn Diagrams to help you write out the information you have found into your encyclopedia pages.
