Australian Festivals

Australia is a wonderful country with a fantastic range of things to do. The 6 states and 2 territories of Australia encompass many hundreds of towns and cities. Knowing when and where special events take place can help you plan your Australian Adventure!



QuestWhich are the most fun and interesting festivals in Australia?

You will work with a partner and together be given one state or territory in Australia. Your task is to research the festivals of that state/territory. 

Teacher assigned:
Australian Capital Territory
New South Wales
Northern Territory
Queensland
South Australia
Tasmania

Victoria
Western Australia





Task 1
Read about the different festivals in your state/territory (see links above). When you have decided which one you think is the most interesting, fun and exciting, take notes and answer the following information:

  1. What is the name of the festival?
  2. Where is it?
  3. When is it?
  4. How long does it go for?
  5. What's it about?
  6. What can you do there?
  7. How much do events cost?
  8. Any other interesting or helpful facts?

9. WHY DO YOU THINK THIS FESTIVAL IS THE BEST? (blurb)

Task 2 - Spiel

Are you and your partner convinced that you have found the best festival in your state/territory? If so, congratulations! Maybe you are already planning a trip to attend! Discuss with your partner how you will convince your classmates that it is indeed the most interesting, fun and exciting festival. Write a 1 minute spiel that will persuade the audience.




Task 3
You have all learned about different Aussie festivals. You are going to share this information with your classmates. On top of this, you are going to try to convince them that YOUR chosen festival is THE ABSOLUTE BEST and that we should all attend!

You and your partner will now make a poster and a brochure to advertise your fantastic festival.The poster should provide all important details (such as when and where the festival is held and what it's all about) and help convince us that your festival is indeed the best! The brochure should be a tri-fold brochure that provides more in depth information about the festival. 

Extension
When all other tasks are complete you should make flyers, signs, show bags that will help convince us that yours is the absolute best Australian Festival.

A FESTIVAL EXPO will be held to determine which festival we should attend together!



Conclusion
Have you found a festival that you would like to attend? Somewhere new that you would like to go to? Maybe there are many new places and events that you will now need to fit into your time travelling around Australia! Happy planning! Good luck and have fun!
