Calling Australia Home Unit Plan

12 x lessons | Suitable for years: 6

This Australian History unit covers a range of concepts relating to democracy, citizenship and immigration experiences of 20th century Australia.

It consists of 11 lessons of approximately 60 minutes duration.

The sequence of lessons and suggested time frames should be regarded as a guide only; teachers should pace lessons in accordance with the individual learning needs of their class.

Some lessons contain independent research tasks which may require additional lessons to complete.

An assessment task for monitoring student understanding of the unit objectives is included and will require an additional lesson.

Hi, It seems the unit overview is missing form my pack. Can this be sent to me separately?
- Stephanie (Teach Starter) · 2 years ago
  
  Hi there Caitlin. We’re experiencing a technical difficulty with our unit plans at the moment. The issue is affecting staff members as well as our subscribers, so unfortunately we are unable to send this to you at this time. Might I suggest copying the content from the webpage into Word and printing it that way? I recognise that this is far from ideal, and I apologise for the inconvenience!
