Race to the Pole

Students loved completing this assignment which required them to research Scott and Amundsen’s race to the South Pole, and use the information gathered to write a contemporary newspaper report of the outcome. This resource can be easily differentiated by either providing the partially completed newspaper structure bundled with the task, or allowing students free rein to create their own newspaper structure. Encourage students to make it their own by tea staining or tearing the work slightly to make it look even more original!
