Criteria:  Use ONE page in your homework book and tell me about the achievements and life of Sir Edmund Hillary. I would like you to tell me about him in your own words. Remember that he has done a lot of things and not just climb Mount Everest.

Presentation is important so have fun. Make the presentation of our work suitable to the subject.

Please do not copy, cut & paste or repeat things that other people have written about him. It makes marking your work very boring.
