=What you will be doing= This web quest is designed to make you a historian, an explorer, a philosopher, a detective and a story teller. You need not wear tweed or have a bow tie to be a historian, you just need curiosity. Shaping Our Modern World is the part of the Stage 4 syllabus that gives us the freedom to explore history in areas that are closer to us, so for this web quest you will be researching your own history, as it our recent past where we can most clearly see the shaping of our immediate world.

Lesson 1
you will select __one__ episode of 'who do you think you are?' and explore the historical implications of the video and answers questions, this will provide you with an opportunity to practise your historical skills for your next two lessons.

Lesson 2
you will explore the internet and discern sources that provide information about your own family history. You may contact grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles for this task, using Skype or mobiles. OR if family history is too difficult to research, you may work on an auto-biographical piece.

lesson 3
your historical work must be synthesised, this is where you look at everything you've found or written and ask 'so what?'. What was the significance of all these events and historical factors.
