Task:
The purpose of this task is to research, construct and present an Interview using the perspectives of your given topic. Initially, you will have to

highlights these areas:

You will have to divide the roles, 1 interviewer and 2 interviewees, and film a 3 minute long
interview. You will be given class time to complete this assessment, the only work done at
home should include rehearsal of your script. The topics include:
Women and Children
Miners/ Diggers

You will be assigned a topic to research; you will not choose the topic yourself. Once your group has filmed their presentation, you must upload
it to the classroom blog, and we will then view them all as a class, giving feedback to each group. Ensure to upload your script, video and
timeline to the designated area on the classroom blog.

*Remember to structure the interview using the correct elements and writing style.
*You may wish to dress up when you film, this will add to the appeal of the presentation.
