Build upon the question in the student booklet – Who else might need to learn about the school transition experience in the 2020s? 

• What was school transition like for parents and carers/grandparents/ family/friends? 
• How are the experiences of 'long ago' similar to those of today, and what can they teach us? 
• What experiences are completely different? 

Encourage students to reflect on this with family members, as well as with the class.

This homework activity is a brief extension activity, that is, it could be completed within a 30-minute homework slot. For a similar but extended activity, please see Classroom Activity 2 – Interviewing – in the Introduction to transition module.
