The Que​st:
As a new immigrant to Australia in groups of 5 you will research one of the immigrant stages that have come to Australia over the last 200 years. You will later be required to produce a couple of journal entries each written by a family member in your designated immigration stage. You will be responsible for coming up with a family name, individual family members’ names as well as deciding from which perspective you will write from – father, mother, son, daughter or grandparent. You will also need to decide on the age of your character, the only requirement being that the children must include a teenager and a younger child.
