23 August 2007 - Learning about History of Chinatown using the Internet







During our Social Studies lesson, we had found how the names of some streets in Chinatown come about. An interesting website we had visited was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatown,_Singapore. My pupils were surprised to know that Sago Street got its name because in the 1840s, there were a number of sago factories located there. Hence, IT is definitely a useful tool in learning about the history of Singapore. :)
