of the following topics:
weapons of the First World War
- Makeup from the 1920s
- ghost stories/myths of australia
For any report, you will have to find primary
sources that you will gain information from
and use to prove your answer. Many
primary sources can be found online.
Using the links above, you will find three
websites about your chosen topic and
evaluate the validity of your websites. Yoou
ur explanations have to show that you
searched for the information asked on the
checklist and that your websites pertain to
the object of your choice.
