6AD Artefact Documentary Task

As a culmination of their inquiry into Australia’s Perspective – Immigration, the girls were required to select a culturally significant artefact that accurately tells their family’s migratory story. 

The girls used the artefact as a springboard for their study, culminating in a multi-modal documentary, showcasing the story behind the item.

Inquiry questions included:

• Why did the family member migrate? 
• Where did they come from and what was their method of migration?
• What challenges did they encounter when they arrived in Australia?
• How did they feel about their decision to migrate?
• What was their cultural contribution to Australian society? 

They were required to adopt a perspective of a family member, narrator or actual artefact to tell their family’s unique and personal story.
