In the Humanities course in year 10, we were able to choose and research a project of our choice to showcase at the final exhibition in term 4. The topic Amelia and I have chosen is Civics and Citizenship. I was very happy when we chose this discipline as there are so many things we could do. We decided to focus on a cold case, specifically the murders and disappearance of the Dupont de Ligonnès family. For our presentation, we will be creating a report detailing a timeline of events and information about all the family members that were involved in the crime. Also, we will have a pin-up board with a map of the area and pictures of potential sightings.
We have completed our 10 annotated references each and this has helped us to collate all the information we need to construct our project. We are now working on making our report with all the elements in that and we will be creating our pin up board next week. The sheet below is a planning document which helped up come up with ideas about what we wanted to focus on and how we wanted to present. Also, it allowed us to think about what steps were involved and to reflect on some key values which we needed throughout this project.
A few key values that we need are:
– Communication
– Problem solving
– Creativity
– Organisation
– Collaboration.
Communication is very important as we need to make sure everyone knows what they are doing and when we need it done by. Creativity is needed as we are creating our own project and want it to be interesting and unique. The other value that we need is problem solving, there is no doubt that we will come across bumps in the road, but we need to find solutions so we can continue on with what we are doing.
