PART 1
Choose SIX significant people from the list. TWO of the people must come from LIST A; TWO from LIST B; and TWO from LIST C.
You will need to include:
(i) their name
(ii) year of birth and death (not for those still alive)
(iii) information about their family and where they grew up
(iv) detailed information about their adult life
(v) detailed overview of their contribution to Australian democracy, and the significance of their contribution. What changes were made? What was done differently? What was new? This needs to be the most detailed part of your research.
(vi) a bibliography of your sources made using the SLASA online referencing generator is present (choose the Middle School option)
You will produce a persuasive piece of writing which ranks these six people in order of the importance of their contribution to Australian democracy. You will need to justify why you have ranked them in the order you have chosen.
