Heejun's Writing Assignment


1) You are the last person alive from the Burke and Wills expedition. It is September 1861, and the search party has just found you. Tell them what happened to you.


I need food.  I was in the Burke and Wills expedition. All of them died. We didn't have enough food and water, and the weather was bad so we couldn't move fast. I want to go with you.


2) You are the leader of another expedition across Australia. Explain what you wil do differently.


My expedition will be different. I will prepare a lot of food. We will move more quickly. We will choose expedition people more carefully. I will choose dry weather for going on the expedition. This are the reasons my expedition will be better.
