Some of the secondary sources that I found were websites with information about the area and the information that we were provided before the field trip.
Some of the techniques I used to collect the data in which I used for the research action plan were taking photos whilst I was on the fieldtrip, notes I wrote down also the activity work book that was given to me by the tour guide. The secondary sources
I used to complete my research action plan were websites to help find out about the area in the 1900 's.
