arguing a point of view on a civics and citizenship issue relevant to their lives (for example, the consequences of breaking school rules, the value of contributing in their community, the need to preserve an endangered species) and making effective use of persuasive language such as âI thinkâ and âI dis/agree thatâ to gain the support of others (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability, Ethical Understanding, Intercultural Understanding)
describing the location and direction from a local place in Australia to a local place in at least two neighbouring countries (for example, New Zealand and Indonesia) using a globe or wall map (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
selecting and applying appropriate media to communicate their findings, including the use of graphs, tables, timelines, photographs and pictures (Skills: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking)
using subject-appropriate terms when speaking, writing and illustrating, for example, historical terms (such as âimmigrationâ, âexplorationâ, âdevelopmentâ, âsettlementâ, ânaming days of commemorationâ and âemblemsâ); geographical terms (such as âclimateâ, âsettlementâ, âenvironmentâ, ânaturalâ and âconstructedâ); and civic terms (such as âcommunityâ, âdecision-makingâ, âparticipationâ) (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
