Enviro-traveller – Class Wiki
There are no Work Samples available for this Activity.
Description of activity:
Students imagine they are time travellers who journey into the past to investigate the land of their local area. They research the sustainable practices of their local area and contribute findings to a class wiki. Students refer to the data collected and displayed on the class wiki and evaluate the sustainability of the local community.
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 environment to determine what is required to manage the local environment. Students have researched their local area. They understand the requirements and protocols of contributing to a wiki and will include this information as part of their portfolio.
