 * Introduction **

Welcome Year 7 R.E. students to this Saint Mary MacKillop pathfinder where you will be guided to resources within the library and online to direct you in the research, writing and creation of your task. Remember to use a variety of information resources within your work. Ms Crupi's class will be presenting their work in the form of a Glog (an interactive, multimedia poster - comprising images, video or sound clips) using //Glogster//. When creating your glog make sure your images, backgrounds, images, headings, animations, video and sound clips are appropriate and relevant to demonstrate your understanding and knowledge of the life and influence of Mary MacKillop. Do not copy and paste any written material from the Internet - that is plagarism. Refer to the [|Information Skills Research Model] (which has strategies for you to use to avoid plagarism) and follow the six steps outlined to plan, research, use and evaluate your work in the completion of this task.

You will find relevant information for your assignment by browsing the shelves according to the following Dewey numbers:
