Good day,
You are going to do this project during class time with your teacher.
This will be fun, and we hope that you learn loads of very interesting and new things.
You may not take this project home and family /friends may not do it for you. They may help you to
get the information, but they cannot do it.
All the information you gather must be placed in your portfolio/SBA book. You will use the
information in class and your teacher will help and assist you.
Have heaps of fun.
• Take the dice your teacher will give you and gently roll it onto the
table.
• The number it lands on between one and six will be your special
number.
• Carefully study the information next to your number. This will be the
topic for your research project.
Notes:
Use different resources to assist with your research. On the
template provided write down the names of the resources you
used.
Write / paste your information in the blocks provided. If you need
more space add a paper or place everything in an envelope. Be
creative and enjoy your work!
Information: (Write/copy the names of the resources you used in the box).
If you use a computer, ask for the project in “Word” from your teacher.
