| The People
You must investigate the important "People"
of Federation. At the end of this section you will explain the significance of these
People to the Federation of Australia to the other members of your class.
Part One
Answer the following questions in order to explain the role of the important people
and how they influenced Federation. How could the F-900 use them to negatively affect our future?
- Who were the people that introduced, promoted
and pursued Federation? What events, people and issues led these People to hold their
particular views of Federation?
- Who were the people that resisted, blocked and
argued against Federation? What events, people and issues led these People to hold their
particular views of Federation?
- What were both sets of people's reasons, and
were they justified?
- Did people from different states have
different ideas/opinions? If so, what were they and why did they have them?
Write a short poem or
short story about the leading people and their different influences up to
and after Federation!
Part Two
You are back at the time of Federation and have
identified the ways in which the F-900 could sabotage history in your team's aspect.
Could you change history in your team's aspect for the better? How? Which People
would you go and visit? How would you persuade them to change their opinions? Would you do
it if you had the chance?
Explain your reasons,
ideas and attitudes in a short (500 words) essay.
Part Three
Write
down as many questions (and their answers) as you can about this aspect of
Federation - they will be used in the next Challenge! Each of you will need to
come up with at least 5 questions - a total of at least 20 questions.
DO NOT share these questions with ANYONE (except your group) - you don't know who are the
F-900s!
You are to write up the questions and 3 possible answers
(one being the correct one).
