Convicts in a Female Factory - History Inquiry Learning 
Convicts in a Female Factory - History Inquiry Learning
This study involves a detailed investigation of the remains of the female factory at Ross, Tasmania. Students ‘become’ archaeologists and find a variety of objects relating to convict life. They draw on a variety of sources of evidence to help them ‘interrogate’ and interpret each object, to discover what it tells us about convict life/conditions. This involves students in hypothesising, gathering evidence, analysing, then extrapolating from a particular set of findings to a much larger picture.
