Eureka Stockade - Second Draft.


I am learning to write reports. this is my second draft on a report on the Eureka Stockade. ( Mums suggestions and mark ups are in capitals)

The eureka stockade is a important part of Australia's history. CAPITAL LETTERS FOR THE NAME OF A PLACE OR EVENT

The Eureka stockade was in Ballarat,Victoria. The actual stockade was built on baker hill. They mined gold around Ballarat during the Goldrush. The people who mined for gold themselves diggers.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DIGGERS TO MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE REBELLING?

The men came together at about 8 o'clock on the 2nd of December 1854 and created a distinct place where the men could muster and be drilled. There was 10000 diggers. ( PLEASE CHECK THIS NUMBER. I THINK IT WAS LESS THAN THIS)

The battle lasted for 15 mins. 23 diggers and 15 troopers died. MORE NEEDED HERE.
WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE REBELLION? WHAT WERE THEY HOPING TO ACHIEVE? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE?   HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN THE STOCKADE WHEN IT WAS RAIDED?  WHERE WERE EVERYONE ELSE?

The flag was a southern cross with a blue background. WHAT FLAG?  


CONCLUSION - WHAT CHANGED?  WHAT DID THE GOVERNMENT DO FROM THEN ONWARD? WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO AUSTRALIA AND TO THE WORKFORCE?
