As a part of our year 10 humanities course we are able to research a project of our own choice and to create an outcome to showcase at a final exhibition in term 4. The topic that I have chosen to research is geography with my partner Eliza. We are researching the liveability of Perth. To start we first thought I what we wanted to do for our project, we had a couple of ideas but eventually decided on one idea we both really liked. This idea was something interactive that shows the best places to live in Perth. Once we got our idea started filling out the booklet. We wrote out questions we wanted to answer and what capabilities we would use throughout this process. We then worked on and finished our annotated bibliography.

The capabilities we will use are

• Effective communication as we will need to talk to each other to decided what we are doing and if we are heading in the right direction. We cant just communicate but we need to do it effectively. This means sharing ideas, sharing what we have done and discussing what we still need to do.
• Problem solving as we will come across challenges and have disagreements and will need to over come them.
• Organization. We need to be organized with what we are doing so we stay on track and don’t fall behind. We need to plan out what we are doing so we are organized and stick to a plan.
• Creativity. We have already used this by coming up with our idea. we will need this further next term when we decide how we will present our information.

Moving forward we need to

• Research more into what people like to do in Perth
• Research public transport in Perth
• Research why people like living in Perth
• Write more research questions along the way as we find out more
• Research what makes Perth a liveable place

After we have finished all the research we need we will start brainstorming how we will present our findings. We will need to use all our capabilities when we begin and continue to do this. We will work on our project for all the time we have in term 4. We will especially need to be creative during this process because we want to come up with a fun and creative idea we can work on and stick with.
