Cornish Past - Sources.
How can we find out about the past?
- We can look at objects from the past.
- We can read information.
- Look at pictures.
- Visit places.
Your independent learning task is this:
Interview one person who has lived in Cornwall for more than 20 years. The following questions may be helpful:
- Where - have you lived in Cornwall?
- What changes have you noticed the most?
- What things are better about living in Cornwall?
- What things are not as good about life in Cornwall?
- What are your favourite memories about living in Cornwall?
Pointers:
- Ask your parents to help you find a contact - do not just speak to someone without letting your parents know.
- Remember to use your listening skills.
- Write the questions you wish to ask before interviewing the person (even if it is a relative).
- You may find it helpful to make a few notes.
While you are here, why not check out some further information about Cornwall's fantastic mining history?

In August 2005 I was at Chapel Porth beach with my family when a pod of Dolphins started to jump out of the waves, surf and generally show off. It reminded me of how lucky we are to live in an area of such natural beauty and to see wildlife that some people pay thousands of pounds to see.
When I went to St Ives with my Auntie, Mum, Brother and Cousin on Porthminster Beach and my cousin fell over paddling in the sea and got soaked and we dug a huge hole about 1 metre deep and then filled it in again. MEGAN
everything- especially the beaches 'cause some people have never seen the sea or a proper beach, but most of us are only a 10minute drive away!!!!! gem x

my favorite moment was when me and my cousin went to a beach and my auntie said dont step in that puddle cause its really deap but my cousin didnt listen so he went to jump in the puddle (witch he thought was shallow)and it was so deap it was twice the size of him and he coundn't swim so he was there crying and struggling to get out but he coundn't and he kepped shouting "someone get me out" but noone did but in the end we helped him.
