Anna's+Introduction

As part of our integrated project on the topic Community, the year 8 students will be making their own wiki showing the work that they have completed in the four subjects: English, SOSE, Maths and Science. The year 8 students have been working in groups to complete the research and other requirements together and the final step was to present the work individually. The group that I worked with included Batul, Caitlin, Elizabeth and Sally.
 * Introduction:**

In English, we were given three topics and had to choose one of them to write an essay. The topics were: My Ideal Home, My Fantasy House of the Future and The House I Once Lived In. The topic that I chose to base my writing piece on was My Fantasy House of the Future.

In SOSE, we were put into groups and together we had to research the city of Maribyrnong and its suburbs, the overall demographics and the local government. After completing all the research, each group was given a different type of client to find the most suitable house for them to live in. We then had to submit the client profile, the house selected and the assessment of whether the house we selected fitted our client in a portfolio.

In Maths, we were in the same groups as in our SOSE groups. We had to find the annual income of our clients and work on the area and cost of carpeting the rooms of the house chosen for our clients. After completing all the work, we had to present it in the form of a written report that includes the introduction, discussion and conclusion.

In Science, we worked in the same groups and were given three topics: Newell’s Paddock (wetland ecosystem), Iramoo grassland (grassland ecosystem) and Altona Coastal Park (salt marsh ecosystem). We had to choose one of these ecosystems and do some research on the plants and animals found living on that ecosystem. My group chose the Altona Coastal Park- salt marsh ecosystem. After the research, we had to present the work in a written report.
