Investigating the Causes of Homelessness

Students will generate research questions based on the themes in the film Some Happy Day. They will utilise statistics about the causes of homelessness in Australia to formulate different questions using a tool called the ‘Question Quadrant’. This activity will assist students’ thinking and prepare them for researching and using their findings to propose creative actions that can address an aspect of homelessness (which they will complete in the final lesson - Lesson 4).
