Your first reference task....

Your first independent research task requires you to find information surrounding WW1. As a guide, you could find information on:
-life in the trenches
-weaponry
-countries involved
-numbers of dead
-impact on wider societies
Although the internet is great source of information, merely cutting and pasting information isn't really research - it shows you can find information and move it some where else. So, for this task you will need to make dot point notes (minimum 2 pages or as an extension up to 3 pages) and you'll need to find it from three different sources - not just the internet (internet, books, films, encyclopedia.
You also need to reference the material - which means, you'll need to tell me where you found it (internet address or book title and author). I know there are books in the library as i've checked and you'll also find extensive material in the encyclopedias.
This task should be started immediately and is due next Monday 27th Spetember. Don't wait till the last minute to complete this work or ask for help if it's needed (i'll check on Thursday as to your progress)! And remember, if you find a great resource - leave a comment for others to read as to where they can find it.

It should be in dots points - if those are hand written in your book or typed is up and then glued into your book is up to you :)Mr. D
