Hi guys!

Never used a Wiki before but thought I'd get the ball rolling. I have been doing some research for artefacts/websites that might be of interest and have found a couple that could be of value. The Immigration Museum in Melbourne in conjunction with the Melbourne Museum have a unit of work entitled "Pack your Bags" which is the study of immigration in Australia, which includes pre- and post-visit activities. It also links to Museum Victoria's "Immigration to Victoria - a Timelime" display that has an image gallery on the web and photo collections that are actually on display.

Another website I found was www.museumsandgalleries.act.gov.au/artefactchat/foundation.html

This website has a unit of work from Foundation to Year 2 where students learn about the local community through oral history and artefacts, and provides links to the National Curriculum. Haven't had a lot of time looking at this one yet, but so far seems to have lots of relevance to our unit and our AT2. Includes focus questions, resource details and necessary links.

Let me know what you all think.

Cheers,

Jodie.
