Stage 2 are investigating some of the lives of the convicts that came to Australia on the ships of the First Fleet. A great website to find out more about them is found here.  Tell their story as if you are that convict and in your story include:

first and last name (surname) and any alias used,

age,

the crime they committed and cost if known,

the sentence (how many years in Australia),

the ship you were transported in.

Using your imagination, explain why you committed the crime and tell us about the family you left behind.  How do you feel about leaving them and how do you think they feel?
