Convict Punishments

In 5-6 Morgan we have started off our year by learning about the history of convicts in Australia and the living conditions of the convicts. We researched the punishments for not complying to orders and found out how convicts were treated. We then used this research to write letters from the perspective of either a convict or an officer. We have been learning about the importance of proof reading and editing our work, so after three drafts we are now up to publishing our final copy. We are in the process of tea staining our paper to make it look old before we publish our letter. Keep an eye out for our final master pieces.
