Students should construct a simple, alphabetical bibliography that includes all sources used; print, non-print (websites), maps, pictures, tables, graphics, cartoons. Refer carefully to the [|OLMC Style Guide Years 7 - 9.doc] for help in preparing your bibliography.

TRUGANINI’S FUNERAL: She had the longest funeral in the history of the world. From the time of her physical death in 1876 to her cremation in 1976, it took a hundred years. Not that she wished it that way, but others thought her to be so important that they could not let her depart this life until they had finished with her.

The Government enlists an Englishmen for the job, who is helped by a young Aboriginal woman Truganini.
