I have recently modified this and will upload the changes soon (January 2025) Lesson 5 Uluru Lesson 6 Aborigines Lesson 7 Australia Day (updated for 2023) Lesson 8 Australia Cultural class This is the second part of my Australia scheme of work, but naturally you could use any of these lessons separately. There are two booklets. In the easier one there are two different exercises (just made a bit easier for weaker students). I have added the video clips to a Youtube list but some can’t be added The Uluru video on the PowerPoint is from the BBC and for some reason videos designed for children on Youtube cannot be saved to a playlist. But they are embedded in the PowerPoint lessons. Regarding the biographies: Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie and Chris Hemsworth I get the students to, in groups of 3 or 4 take the text and try to summarise it then they read in front of the students who take notes (a kind of dictogloss) to see what they understand. After all this then students can read the biographies together in class. The biographies for Jackman, Robbie and Hemsworth have been taken from different sources edited, rewritten and like all my other lessons I’ve added pics and formatted it myself.

Describe the Australian system of government. Explain how the Australian Constitution functions. Lesson Objective: to what extent does Australia reflect the best of Britain and America? The resources are designed for delivering Levels 9 and 10 of the Victorian History Curriculum 2.0 based on the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0). It formed the foundation of my work supporting the Department for Education of Victoria and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria to implement the latest curriculum across the state. Each lesson is fully inclusive, culturally sensitive and differentiated to challenge all attainment levels and are also suitable for teaching the Australian Curriculum 9.0 in all states across the country. The resources I created whilst teaching in the UK helped my cohort of students achieve and sustain results that far exceed the national average. My examination classes consistently attained the highest possible grades in any subject and/or class year-on-year in a school of over 1300 students. I have worked with the examination boards for over 12 years, and I have utilised feedback from students, fellow professionals, experienced colleagues and used my own professional judgement to ensure that each resource will help you to teach quality history lessons so that each student achieves their personal best. I am proud to be recognised as a ‘Gold’ TES Author, a status awarded to top-rated contributors.
