The Good Weekend – 2 of Us.

Homework for Yr 10 English:

Using the 6 interview questions you and your friend agreed to, write about your relationship with your best friend. We will be using these to create a similar article to the one we read in class today about Partick and Adrian.

Click the article if you would like to read it again.

We want your input!

Got any questions about the Australian History School Certificate? Is there anything about Australian History you don’t understand? Confused about a certain topic? Would everything make sense if you could just get your head around one aspect of Australian History?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then we want you! Post your questions here and they will be answered in our first Australian History Podcast next week!
