FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS(FAQs) Dear students,

Here is a space where we can keep track of the common questions you may ask.

Use the DISCUSSION tab on this page to post any questions that are not covered on this page, (you can also check out what other students are confused about and see if you can help them figure out the answer).

Remember, there is also a "Help" menu (top, right corner of the wiki page) that has information about how to create and use Wikis.

For an example of how you could present a Wiki, please see [|here].

__**TOPIC AND RESEARCH QUESTIONS**__

**Question : **What is this assignment about?

The aim of this assignment is to research and present information on a history topic related to multi-culture in Australia, in the form of a Wiki.

**Question : **How many questions do we need to answer?

If you go to the "Guiding Questions" page on this Wiki, you will see some possible questions, to help you with this unit. The guiding questions deal with topics such as what multiculturalism means to you, researching a specific person or event linked to multiculturalism in Australian History, the role that government and community groups play, issues to do with citizen rights and responsibilities and how democracy is linked, and some ideas on critical thinking and reflections about different media.

You may use the Guiding questions as starting point for your assignment.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Being able to work in a team situation is very important, however, for this assignment, you are required to research your topic and present your Wiki on your own. You can work in collaboration with your classmates on technical aspects of your assignment, but the main focus of this assignment is researching and finding information with the assistance of your teacher.
