 * Lesson 4: My Place**


 * Topic: Historical Fiction**


 * Reading Response Task:** Go to [] Have a look at some of the different profiles of the children in this series. Choose //two children// and //compare and contrast// their lives. Read about their kitchens and list what things are the same and what things are different. Then go to their backyards and bedrooms and do the same. How you choose to present your findings is up to you, e.g. T Chart (same/different), PowerPoint (e.g. page per room or per person), Word (e.g. write a paragraph for each person). You need to find several things for each area that is the same and several things that are different.


 * Discussion Question: "**//What do you think is the most significant (important) change for Australian kids in the past 120 years? Why?"//

**Optional extension activity**: Create a profile for your life. Consider what are some of the features someone from the future would want to know about you. E.g. food, games, toys, sports


 * Student Reflections:** //Please consider the websites, reading response task and the discussion question in your responses//
