Record: What have we found out about Dr Livingstone?
In seven groups, research David Livingstone using the World Wide Web. Bookmark sites for students:
Each group will have 1-2, 30 minute sessions collecting information from the sites listed. The aim is for students, using who, what, where, when, why, how questions and working in small groups, to skim-read, take notes and summarise the information to give feedback to the class. Students to use a time line to record information. Each group will put their time line on a class wall chart "This is Your Life David Livingstone".
As a result of their reading and research students will write a diary/log - "A week in the life of Dr Livingstone". Teacher models the process of drafting, editing and proofreading.
