Task
Your teacher will organise you into groups of 3.

Each group should research all 8 areas above, with each member of the group having the responsibility of researching one classification per area. You will have 10 minutes to research and make notes on each area, with a further 5 minutes to share your findings with the rest of the group.

After each of the 8 areas have been researched, your teacher will then allocate your group with 1 area from which you should produce a presentation.

Each page on the presentation should be more visual than text, and should contain a maximum of 1 short sentence.
