Step 1.

Distribute or project the A powerful century - Information sheet (also available on the Student Worksheet).

Step 2.

Ask students to access the Student Worksheet (either online or printed), and read it and the Information sheet carefully as a class.

Step 3.

Assist students and give suggestions as they define the bold words from the Information sheet in the spaces provided on the Student Worksheet. Suggested definitions are available below.

Step 4.

Students plot ALL of the key events in Hydro Tasmania’s history onto a detailed, dated timeline. Where specific dates are not available, students should refer to decades/eras. Students can use Visme or Sutori to create their timelines.

Differentiated activities

Provisions for Learning Support: Students with special needs may require a reader and/or writer to assist them, and may include fewer key events on their timeline.

Extension activity: Students may like to transform their timeline into an electronic form and/or expand it into a larger format.

Homework

Students should complete, edit and polish their timeline (either by hand or transformed into an electronic form) ready to submit for marking next lesson.
