Date given: Friday 25th January Due in: Wednesday 30th January   Topic homework: To research information for your Australian animal presentation. Your presentation should include information to answer these questions: Is your animal a marsupial, a reptile, a bird, a mammal, a monotreme or a marine animal? Where are they found? (Use a map.) What’s unique about the animal? What climates do they need for survival? How have population rates changed in recent years? How are they viewed by people? How do they care for their young? As you will be creating and delivering this presentation with a partner, you might like to think about how best to organise your research. You need to have at least a page of notes to share with your partner in our next topic lesson. Remember you will be creating the presentation together in class time.
