What you are going to do for the remainder of this lesson:

Look at the box that is numbered 39 in your book on p. 153. You are going to do the assignment that is described in this box.

Box 39

Read the text "Australian bush food" again. Five of these 'bush foods' are discussed in this text. Find more information on these foods and make a poster about it. You can do this on your computer or on a piece of paper.

You are going to do this on your own.

You have until the next lesson (Wednesday) to do this. Please send your work to me on Magister. If you made your poster on a piece of paper, take a picture of it and turn that in.

What you need to have in your poster: pictures of the 5 bush foods mentioned in the text, additional information on the foods and a picture and information on a bush food you looked up yourself.

Good luck to all of you!
