Biography

Sometimes, a biography describes a person's life from birth to death. At other times, the writer concentrates on a particular period in a person's life. We will be reading biographies of famous Australians and other people. We will practise completing a time line, making notes of key points as events, turning points, achievements.

MEDIA FILE

Each week you will need to collect news clippings about current issues and the most useful sources are The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian and The Daily Telegraph. Current concerns are usually, immediately covered by the press and it will mean you become familiar with some of the local and macro envoronment.

Class Activity - Take some notes using key words after reading the article which was given to you by your classmate.

Homework = Summary - Write a brief summary of the main issues the article deals with based on your notes.

Personal reflection - Respond in a written format about attitudes, feelings, reflections on the content and implications of the article.
