Welcome Room 4!
Today we are going to start off using the Our Far South website to undertake some research on the area from Stewart Island to Antarctica
- How to ask meaningful questions and research the answers on the internet
- Taking short notes and noting the source of the information (to be used in the bibliography later)
- Recording our research in a collaborative group document, using google docs
- How to share our research on our class blog
Group Research
We will split into 3 main research areas.

Click on the group document that you have been assigned:
1. Biodiversity: The rich animal and plant life and why it is important.
2.
3. The Race for resources: How is the southern ocean and Antarctica governed, and what
are the impacts of activities like fishing and tourism?

Criteria for Research
Use at least 3 different websites to help answer the questions that you have asked. Try to find websites which look at your issue from different angles.
For example - if you were looking at the issue of Japanese whaling in Antarctica - you might want to look at why the Japanese continue to do it, even when whaling has been banned. Look at a protest organisations' websites like Greenpeace as well.
