Local History
- Create a family timeline as far as you can go. How many generations? How many people do you know now? Has anything about your family surprised you?
- Research the history of your street/village/town – what is your area famous for? Are there any significant individuals in your area?
- Compare and contrast how your local area has changed over time – has it always had the same populations? Have the buildings changed?
- You could use a storyboard in 2Publish on Purple Mash to create your historical document.
