Hello to all year 11 Modern history students. our 1st assignment of the year is learning how

this assignment is worth 65% of your total grade of the term.
 * REMEMBER: **

Your assignment should come with three components:
 * Task:** Compile an annotated and carefully referenced list of a variety of sources which you could use to compile the history of Tamworth.

1. A brief (50 word maximum) description of the area you have chosen. For example where is it, where does it stand in the State or Territory? In which region is it found? What are its neighboring towns? Is it at the junction of this and that highway? Is it on the coast? Is it at the foot of a mountain? on a tableland? eighty kilometres inland from an ocean? on a river? Note: It would be useful to include a map locating the area on which you are focusing. (Remember to reference the source of the map).

2. A selection of a variety of sources (5: no more please) you might use when compiling a local history on Tamworth These should be a mixture of different types of primary sources There should be at least three primary sources and two secondary sources. Each source should be properly referenced in the recommended style for traditional footnotes. Each source should then be described and include a commentary on how local historians might find each particular source you have chosen useful. What kinds of questions might it help them to answer? In other words, each source should be accompanied by a description and commentary of about 250 words explaining its potential significance and usefulness in the writing of a local history.

3. Include some samples and make sure you attach a bibilography

Happy Researching :-)
