Australian History 1785 - 1865
This learning resource is jam-packed with activities, assignments and reproducible worksheets, and is designed as a companion to the first five 'My Story' novels (chronologically). The titles featured are 'On Board the Boussole', 'Surviving Sydney Cove', 'The Rum Rebellion', 'A Banner Bold' and 'Riding with Thunderbolt'. Children can work individually, in pairs, or in groups, on a variety of thought-provoking, knowledge-expanding tasks.
The book includes a timeline that places each book in the context of other major events in Australian history, a synopsis of each book, themes of each book and discussion of the diary form as a narrative style and of the development of Australian English and other language issues.
