**LESSON 1**
 * Activities 1, 2, and 3 are designed go for approximately 15 mins each
 * Activity 1 can also be considered a revision activity as some students may already know how to create a timeline therefore this activity might not take as long
 * Activity 2 is a bit more challenging, requiring students to have an understanding of "ealier" and "later" regarding certain dates and events that occurred in order to unjumble dates
 * Activity 3 is more challenging again where students will need to have knowledge on the map of the world to be able to map the route of the First Fleet.
 * Teachers can allow 5 mins to briefly explain features of maps as students are completing this activity

**LESSON 2**
 * Activities 1, 2 and 3 are designed to go for approximately 15 mins each
 * Activity 1 enables the students to complete some group work which allows them to help each other with their research
 * When presenting Activity 1 to the class, students need to take down important notes about each ship as presented by each group
 * Activity 2 requires prior knowledge of ships of the First Fleet to complete this activity. This activity requires knowledge of importan facts as well as the ships.
 * Students can also do some research to help with completing activity 2
 * Activity 3 requires the **application Activinspire which are already installed on school computers** for students to use. The link for this activity can be opened by the students individually on their computers.
 * If during the lesson they run out of time, students can complete the rest of the Activinspire activity at home if they have it installed. If not, this can be completed during other classes.
 * Activity 3 is mainly for revision and a bit of fun for the students and shouldnt take more than a maximum of 5-10 mins.

**LESSON 3**
 * This lesson only has one activity which is designed to go for the whole 45 mins
 * Narratives and recounts are only expected to be about 1 page of writing
 * Students will need to research some information about what it was like as a convict on the First Fleet e.g. reason for being there, background, family, clothes, food, and health.
 * Teachers can briefly explain features of narratives and recounts to help the students e.g. using first person and past tense
