Lesson 1 - Main Lesson

Distribute the following information as worksheets to the students. Have them discuss the information in small groups making point form notes of what they feel is the most important information.

You can decide if you would like students to work individually or in small groups to further research one of the above mentioned sites. The report should include

  • Where is the site located
  • When was it discovered
  • What is the story behind the site
  • Does the site have an important spiritual significance
  • How was the site influenced by contact with European peoples if at all
  • What Aboriginal groups were in the area
  • What does the information tell us about the culture of those who left their history behind?
  • What do you think is the most interesting fact about the site?
  • Is the site a registered historical site? Why or why not?
  • Make sure to provide pictures of your site

Students will want to create the most interesting and unique research reports possible. They can share their information in a variety of ways, according to the teacher's discretion.
