2.13) How was Uluru formed?
Create a video that gives a scientific explanation AND an aboriginal explanation of how ULURU was formed? For this project, there must be: a) an interviewer who asks questions b) a geologist who explains how Uluru was formed in clear steps and with diagrams. c) a story teller who explains the aboriginal story of how Uluru was formed d) a video editor who films and creates the video You will have two lessons to construct the video. I recommend that all your research is brought to the first lesson so that you can begin filming and hence use the lesson time to construct the video only. Note: Zara found an excellent website from ABC called "How did Uluru form?" |
