Activity 2 - Journal Writing

As we have had many opportunities for narrative writing this semester. Write a series of 3 journal entries pretending you are a migrant coming to Australia. Some information that will be relevant could be:

Are you part of a cultural group?

What economic background are you from? (how does that impact on your travel plans?)

What do you intend to do when arriving in Australia?

Are there any conditions to your VISA or Citizenship? (eg. Ten Pound Pom, Dictation Test etc).

Entry 1 - Why you are leaving

Entry 2 - What the voyage is like

Entry 3 - Your first impressions of Australia when you arrive.

Be sure to use evidence from what you have been studying so far during Inquiry.

Activity 3 - Inferences and Immigration

Below are two images of people immigrating to Australia at different times in history.

You are asked to make 4 unique inferences about each photo and justify those statements with 4 pieces of evidence.

The evidence that you provide can be a combination of;

What you literally see in the photograph

Your prior knowledge on immigration

Any additional research you uncover
