By the time you have finished this webquest you should have

- improved your research skills on the internet
- improved your ability to work independently and in groups with people other than those you would normally work with
- learnt something more about preparation and presentation of tasks using ICT

and these are only the skills sections. Well done!

As well you have learnt about some of our modern political parties both through the work you have done and the work others have completed. Again, well done! You now know a lot more than when you started.

Therefore, how do you feel about the questions in the heading?
Do you now know why people bother to create, develop and belong to political parties?
Do you care or is it just a task you had to do because the teacher told you to? Are you sure?
Have you talked about what you have learnt to your peers, your parents, other people? Surely you know more now than you did before?

Do you think that when it comes time for you to vote you will just "tick a box" so that you dont get fined for not voting?
I dont think so. I think that you have gone way beyond that stage and are now a very knowledgeable, and very valuable, member of Australian society. You cannot have completed this task without having become so.

Again, congratulations.

Are there any questions you still want answered? Ask your teacher if you want to but now, at least, you will know where to look to find those answers if you dont want to discuss it at school. See! You have learnt something. Well done!
