Australians All - Civics and Citizenship in Australia
ISBN: 9781921454974 Author: Anne Vize
Knowledge of Australia — its history, people and culture as well as its way of life and systems of citizenship and government — is a critical component of being an active and involved member of society.
Australians All helps teachers of upper primary students achieve this goal by providing challenging and thought-provoking learning opportunities. The book entirely meets the requirements of the learning standards contained within the National Civics and Citizenship Statements of Learning document.
Features
The book contains ten separate units of work, each focusing on a topic that is relevant to teach as part of a Civics and Citizenship lesson series. Each unit contains four activities.
Teacher pages contain background information, useful web links, suggestions for small group discussion topics and activities to extend or develop individual learning.
The facing student pages contain introductory information, along with activities for students to complete, including research tasks.
The activities provide many opportunities for students to experience success with their learning about Australia, and to make a positive transition to being informed and active members of their local communities.
The book is an especially useful resource for students who are recent arrivals in Australia.
