The Process

In order to complete your task well, you have to do the following:

  1. Start off by going to the NE Gallery, going to the library and surfing the net to find out more about the important individuals who have contributed to Singapore’s development.
  2. Refer to your History textbook Chapter 4 to get an idea of the different individuals who have been considered as the “The Founding Father of Singapore” by various scholars.
  3. Find out more about the contributions of the individuals.
  4. Decide what it means to be a “founder”.
  5. Based on your definition, decide on who you think is most deserving of the title, “The Founding Father of Singapore”.
  6. Once you have completed your project, remember to revisit the project and check for any errors (content and language).
  7. Ensure that your work is original and not plagiarized.
  8. Be sure to go through the 'evaluation' segment and be clear about what is expected from you.
