On Demand: Life in the past…stinks! (Stage 1)
We know life in the past was very different to today. But while we can’t go back in time, we can still visit the places where people once lived and worked – and do some of their jobs!
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Using evidence from documents, images and oral history can help us better understand what life was like, in the past, for different people. In this on demand experience, students will see what life was like for:
• a servant working at Vaucluse House mansion in the 1860s
• a farm hand working at Rouse Hill Estate in the 1870s
• a mum living at Susannah Place, in Sydney’s Rocks area, in the 1920s
Some of the jobs they had to do were a bit smelly, some were really hard work and others…well they really, really stink!
