Task 1

Our specific research question and process is:

Our specific research objectives are:
1.What is transportation?

The information we think will be useful.

We plan to collect information and photographs to show change in Transportation, by using old photographs and maybe maps. We will also collect information from Books and the Internet that is relevant to or research Questions We will collect maps and photos from the Wellington City Archives and we will also collect Information from the Internet and from books like the ‘Wellington Portrait of the Region’ By Graham Stewart that book has many photos of places in Wellington in the past and in the present day. We will also go into town on the 7th of August 2007 to visit both the film and council archives. We will also take photos of the areas around Cuba and Manners Mall and down by Lampton Quay.

Where and how we intend to collect this information and how we are going to record it.

As a group we are going in to town to collect photos with our digital cameras and we are going to use them as evidence to back up our statements on transportation. We will also collect information from the council archives website and scam pages out of books to store on the computer.

Four different methods for presenting the information.

We plan to use a we plan to have a series of photo graphs, a table, a timeline and maps.
