Research  seasides  from  the  past.  

 

 

Use  books  or  the  internet  to  find  out  more  about  what  seasides  used  to  be  like  in  the  past  and  how  they  have  changed.    Think  about  some  of  the  following  questions:  What  did  they  look  like?  Who  went  there  and  why?  What  did  people  do?  How  do  we  know  about  them?  

Choose  a  way  to  present  the  information  that  you  have  found  out.  This  could  be:  

• an  information  book  • a  poster  • a  powerpoint  • a  model  

Prepare  some  information  that  you  would  like  to  share  with  the  class  to  teach  us  about  what  you  have  researched.
