 * =**Objectives**=
 * a knowledge and understanding of the nature of history, past societies and periods and their legacy || 4.1 || describes and explains the nature of history, the main features of past societies and periods and their legacy ||
 * the skills to undertake the process of historical inquiry || 4.4 || identifies major periods of historical time and sequences people and events within specific periods of time ||
 * ^  || 4.5 || identifies the meaning, purpose and context of historical sources ||
 * ^  || 4.6 || draws conclusions about the usefulness of sources as evidence in an inquiry ||
 * ^  || 4.7 || identifies different contexts, perspectives and interpretations of the past ||
 * ^  || 4.8 || locates, selects and organises relevant information from a number of sources, including ICT, to conduct basic historical research ||
 * the skills to communicate their understanding of history || 4.9 || uses historical terms and concepts in appropriate contexts ||
 * ^  || 4.10 || selects and uses appropriate oral, written and other forms, including ICT, to communicate effectively about the past ||

**__Task 1: Lesson One__**

 * ===Allow Students to select their groups under the premise they will work efficiently and collectively. If problems occur swap the problematic student with another from a different group. If needed try to select one of the same topic to prevent disruption to the groups.===
 * ===After group selection research topics are to be selected by each group of students===
 * ===This lesson would be ideal in an ICT environment where students can research relevant websites and documentaries as well as their required textbook. Students will be expected to continue research at home and begin their section of the report.===

__**Task 2: Lesson Two**__

 * ===Students will bring their section of the research report that they have completed to class where they will collaborate with their group members.===
 * ===This will hopefully include Group Discussion: where they will select the best pieces of information for the report. Followed by Report Compilation: How the students will structure their report with a final critique and analysis of the work from within the group. If students appear to be struggling offer assistance and guidance for this step.===

**__Task 3: Lesson Three__**

 * ===The final task is that of a presentation of all the group's research reports where they will be provided verbal feedback as well as written feedback through the 'Warm and Cool Feedback' sheets provided.===
 * ===Students are to continue their feed back sheets at home in order to provide any extra feedback or thoughts for the other presenting groups.===

**__Extra Notes:__**

 * ===Teachers will need to allow flexibility with their timing of lessons in order to promote interest with the subject and keep the students focused on the task at hand.===
 * === Teachers will need to be well organised and book a computer lab on at least a weekly basis to provide ample learning opportunities for the students. ===
