Introduction
During class this term, we have been learning about the events which led to World War One and have started exploring the experiences of Australian soldiers who served in the trenches.
However, while the War, arguably, had its greatest impact on those serving on its front-line, the 'war to end all wars' touched all Australians in some way - whether they remained on Australian shores or were nearby, supporting our troops in the trenches.
This task is a work-in-pairs activity which will see you and your partner learn more about the war-time experiences of an Australian soldier, a woman who remains at home and a senior adviser working for the Australian Government.
Task
1. Choose a partner to work with. If you wish, you can complete this activity on your own.
2. Choose one of the Australian personalities to profile - a) an Australian soldier, b) a woman remaining at home or c) an Australian Government official. Visit the Evaluation page to print out the learning expectations for this task and see how your work will be graded.
3. Visit the Process page to view the activities you and your partner will need to complete for your chosen personality.
