The first lesson (see appendix 2a) will include discussion around the artefacts and sources relating to the flooding in Launceston, particularly the 1929 flood. Students will look at the 1929 flood and the effect it had on the local environment and how the community of Launceston reacted to it. As a class they will discuss the prevention strategies Launceston has used and what else might be a possibility.

The students will then be introduced to the assessment task which is to be completed at the end of the unit (or fourth lesson). The task will require students to develop an idea that will prevent or minimise flooding and damage. This will be presented to the class in a poster format.

It's currently at 120 words so it may need to be cut down a bit. I am also stumped for ideas on what activity might be involved in the first lesson. Any ideas?
