Local NZ Legends

 For the past couple of weeks we have been learning about new Zealand's legends and Heroes. We then had to find a New Zealand legend that we would like to do our work about. I chose Kate Sheppard. Once we had chosen our person we had to research things about them like, why are they famous, what did they do and things like that. The next thing we had to do was design our own cover for that person. On the cover we had there name, there face and little pictures that may represent them or stuff like that. We then were given this graphic chart with questions that we had to answer. Here is the questions and my answers.
