Description of activity:
Students imagine they are time travellers who journey into the past to investigate the land of their local area. They compare the past environment with the present environment to determine what is required to manage their local area. Students complete a written evaluation of their local area focusing on the Aboriginal people and their relationship with the land. They include two images created using paint software that were inspired by their investigation.
Context:
This is an assessment activity in a unit of work on animation comparing the past stewardship of the Aboriginal custodians and the sustainability of their practices with the present care of the local area to determine what is required to manage the local environment. Students have an understanding of research methods and will include their research as part of their portfolio.
