For this section of our exploration, half of the class will research the original inhabitants of Australia (the Aborigines). The other half of the class will research European colonization of Australia. After researching the information, you guys will put on a role-playing skit of Europeans coming into contact with the Aboriginal Australians. Time to brush up on your acting skills!!
